Erath Heliport

Unknown. Due to the lack of official records, the specific reason for closure cannot be confirmed. As a small, private facility, it was likely closed for economic reasons, such as the cessation of the business it supported (likely related to the local oil and gas industry), the owner no longer requiring helicopter access, or the sale and redevelopment of the land.

The site is no longer an aviation facility. The coordinates point to an open, grassy field adjacent to an industrial/welding business in Erath, Louisiana. The land appears to be vacant or used as an open yard for the adjacent commercial property. There are no remnants of a helipad, markings, or any other aviation-related structures.

The heliport has no recorded major historical significance. The identifier 'US-11570' is a non-official code used by some third-party aviation databases, not an official FAA or ICAO identifier. Given its location in southern Louisiana, its operations were almost certainly related to the regional oil and gas industry. It would have functioned as a private landing zone for transporting personnel, small equipment, or for corporate travel to and from offshore platforms, drilling sites, or other company facilities in the Gulf Coast region.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening this heliport. The facility appears to be permanently closed and removed, with the land now serving a different purpose. It exists primarily as a historical entry in some unofficial aviation databases.
