The Lee County Mosquito Control District now operates the property as a restricted-use airfield, with a historical marker erected in 2002. Wartime maps, photographs and annuals may be viewed at the district office by prior arrangement — contact the district before visiting, as the operating airfield is not open for casual exploration.
