Site History and Findings of Fact
The U.S. Government acquired 5.56 acres between December 30, 1958 and February 27, 1959 for the purpose of developing an unmanned gap filler annex and gravel access road.
The property was developed and operated as an off-site installation for Sweetwater Air Force Station until the Air Force ceased operation on or about August 1, 1960. The Air Force removed the technical operative equipment and the property was sold back to the original owners, who then demolished all aboveground structures except the concrete radar tower foundations.
Current Use of Site at time of FUDS Report
The concrete radar tower pillars are the only remaining items left from the facility, and the property is currently under cultivation for cotton farming.
