Located East of Carthage and West of Avilla Missouri.
This was the First sign and any evidence of anything except old houses from Avilla towards Carthage along Historic Rt 66.
It appears this strip is for lighter aircraft although you could probably land a bigger one looking at the length of the strip.
I am sure it was the only strip here at the time of the Original Route 66.
Newer one's have been built up around it so it is just a grass strip still as it was then.
