Narrative:
Zuehl airport (1te4) is no longer on the san antonio sectional chart. For more than a year zuehl has been charted as 'objectionable' with no elevation or runway data depicted. I found that to be hazardous; but wait; it is now even more hazardous! An airport that absolutely does not exist is now depicted about .9 mile northeast of where zuehl does exist. Charted as nighthawks nest (TT45) featuring a 7634' x 150' asphalt runway and a 4387' x40' turf runway. Might be planned; but it ain't there. That is hazardous in my book. Zuehl belongs on the chart; it is definitely there and many people and airplanes live there. Additionally it is a viable emergency landing field and should be accessible via a typical 'nearest' button on a GPS. For the same reason TT45 should not be charted.
