Clue 3:
It's in a State beginning with U and near a town beginning with M and ending in oab.
The field was constructed immediately after the war to assist with uranium exploration & extraction. This was on requisitioned Bureau of Land Management land (so one Govt department requisitioned it from another....the Yanks are good at that type of thing.)
In the 70's the jurisdiction was returned to BLM, but the field still exists as you see; almost usable. All buildings have gone, leaving just their foundations. My understanding is that the land rights are now passed to a local college, so there might be some educational benefit to someone.
The town has now expanded to almost encompass the airfield.
