Scroll down a bit to see the runway pic. Is that what you're looking
for?


This would be it! So it's a model airplane strip, not an
abandoned field. The strip's asphalt looks too new to be an old field
that wasn't charted. This would also explain why it wasn't listed on
the airfields-freeman site, which was the first place I looked.

Thanks once again, and great find!

You're welcome. That's why I get the big money.

The lat/lon of this field is 31.18'37.27N / 96.07'42.00W. I
don't see this depicted on the current Omaha sectional, and I
currently don't have any access to any older charts.


Don't know why a field in Texas would be on the Omaha chart.
