Arkansas City (Desha County)

BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: Arkansas · approx. 33.61, -91.21 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Mississippi River

What turns up: Booming Mississippi River port and railhead of the 1880s before the 1927 flood devastated it. The old levee, wharf and commercial lots should produce 1880s bottles, stoneware, clay pipes and railroad and steamboat hardware.

Access: Gray area.

Mississippi River bed below ordinary high water mark is state public trust with restricted artifact removal; the levee and townsite are private and need owner permission. Archaeological sites and unmarked burials are protected by state law.
