Historic California Posts, Camps,
Stations and Airfields
Lincoln Radio Beacon Annex
The site is located in Placer County,
California and is situated five miles west of Lincoln.
In 1957, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
acting for the U.S. Air Force acquired 0.87 fee acre from Floyd
R. Bonniefield. The site was used by the U.S. Air Force as an
off base installation to McClellan
Air Force Base, California. A medium power low frequency
homer beacon was used to serve as a navigational aid site for
McClellan AFB. The site was declared in excess in 1965 and was
reported by the Department of Defense to not be contaminated
by live bombs, artillery, projectiles, chemical warfare or radioactive
materials. In 1966, the 0.87 fee acre was conveyed to Lawrence
W. Bonniefield.
The site has been used for agricultural
purposes since U.S. Air Force use was terminated and is currently
being used as cattle pasture.
