Once a four battery double launch site. All facilities -- barracks, officers' quarters, support buildings -- were bulldozed, leaving very few remnants behind. The magazines are currently under two feet of dirt and gravel. The only visible remain left is the earth berm which once separated the batteries from the liquid fueling area.
