No mention of a helicopter test site, but, according to the Wikimapia notes, there was a landing pad. It's weird; I live in Beaumont, but haven't heard of a preserve being established in Potrero Canyon. There's one to the east of the Lockheed location; I thought the test area was pretty much never going to be used due to the toxicity of the ground from the jet fuel used in testing. This link goes to the LM site; it gives a history of the area.
