No FAA diagram published

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

The honest comparison — events normalized by exposure. A field doing 4× the operations will see more events at the same per-op rate. Per million ops is what matters.
