No FAA diagram published

The FAA does not publish an Airport Diagram (APD) for 44M — most non-towered fields, heliports, seaplane bases, and private strips fall here. Below: aerial imagery showing the actual field, runways, taxiways, and surroundings.

Runways at 44M

2 runway ends on file. Longest: 2,600 ft. Max gradient: 1.27% (noticeable slope — affects performance)

Designator Heading Length Width Surface Lighting Gradient
05 — 2,600 ft 75 ft TURF-G Yes 1.27%
23 253° 2,600 ft 75 ft TURF-G Yes 1.27%

Source: in-app airport database (runway lengths + headings), OurAirports for surface, width, lighting. Gradient computed from FAA NASR runway-end elevation deltas (the published RWY_GRAD field is empty in 99.99% of NASR rows; we derive it from the elevations the FAA does publish).
