The Buffalo Valley Intermediate airfield was one of the network of Intermediate Fields
which was constructed by the U.S. Civil Aeronautics Administration in the 1920s & 1930s. These Intermediate Fields were intended for the emergency use of commercial aircraft flying on airways between major cities. Hard to imagine your 757 landing here!
Apparently built prior to 1933, this triangular shaped field did have a beacon and approach lighting. It was closed by 1954.
