The exact closure date is unknown, as this was a private airstrip with no public records. Analysis of historical satellite imagery indicates the runway was well-maintained and likely active until at least 2017. By 2023, the runway appears overgrown and unmaintained, suggesting it fell into disuse and effectively closed sometime in the late 2010s.
No official reason for closure is documented. For a small, private airstrip of this nature, the most probable reason is a cessation of private use. This could be due to the property owner selling their aircraft, a change in property ownership, the owner no longer being able to fly, or simply deciding the upkeep was no longer necessary.
The site is currently an overgrown field on private property. The distinct, straight outline of the former runway is still clearly visible from satellite view, but it is unmaintained and encroached upon by vegetation, making it unusable for aircraft. The land has effectively reverted to a pasture or natural field within the boundaries of the private ranch.
The airport holds no notable public or historical significance. It was a private turf/grass airstrip created to serve the owner of the Peter Creek Ranch. Its operations would have been limited to serving light, single-engine general aviation aircraft (e.g., Cessna or Piper models) for the personal or business transportation of the ranch owner. It was not a commercial or public facility and would have operated under Visual Flight Rules (VFR). The identifier US-11569 is an internal code from a non-governmental aviation database and not an official ICAO or FAA identifier.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. Since the airstrip is on private land, any potential for reopening would depend entirely on the current landowner's desire and financial ability to restore it for their own personal use. It is extremely unlikely to ever become a public or commercial airport.
