They look like a stereo pair! The new Sturgis Airport sets directly east of this now closed airfield. The old field was constructed between 1963-66. The runway is 3200'. It was closed in 1994 when the new airport (with a longer runway) was opened.

Kinda makes you wonder why they did not just extend the runway???
