Unknown — not enough evidence to call a runway

We don't know, and saying so beats guessing. No D-ATIS feed here — a voice ATIS/AWOS may exist; check the frequency. ADS-B tracking just started here — traffic history is still building.

KBVU field & runways

Boulder City Muni, Boulder City, Nevada. Field elevation 2203 ft. Non-towered (NON-ATCT). Magnetic variation 11.0°E on record, 10.9°E today.

The FAA's variation of record is the number this field was surveyed against; the second is where north points now, from WMM2025. It is moving 0.081°/year west — about 1° every 12 years — which is why runway numbers eventually stop matching their pavement.

Runway data from the FAA NASR 01 Oct 2026 cycle. Where NASR locates both thresholds, the true heading is the bearing between them rather than NASR's whole-degree alignment. Magnetic is that heading against *today's* declination from WMM2025, not the field's variation of record — so it can differ from the chart by the gap between the two shown above. The number painted on the runway is the one ATC uses.
Runway	True	Magnetic	Number	Length	Surface	Pattern
15	165.5°	154.6°	matches rule gives runway 16 in ~4 yr	3,852 ft	ASPH	right
27	279.8°	268.9°	matches	5,103 ft	ASPH	left
33	345.5°	334.6°	matches rule gives runway 34 in ~4 yr	3,852 ft	ASPH	left
9	99.8°	88.9°	matches	5,103 ft	ASPH	right
