Where: Texas · approx. 30.08, -94.13 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on The Neches River, the navigable channel linking the town to Sabine Lake and the Gulf
What turns up: Riverfront sawmill and shipping dumps along the Neches with 1880s to 1890s lumber-era bottles predating the 1901 oil boom; privy pits behind the early commercial row holding beer, soda, and patent-medicine bottles
Access: Gray area.
The Neches River is a navigable state watercourse; the state owns the bed to the gradient boundary, so digging in the river or on the bank is restricted and the Antiquities Code of Texas protects sites on state land. Townsite uplands are private and need the landowner's permission.
