Where: North Dakota · approx. 46.81, -100.78 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Missouri River
What turns up: Steamboat-era refuse along the Missouri cut-banks below the old landing: embossed druggist bottles, Hutchinson and blob-top sodas, amber beer bottles, clay pipes, and salt-glazed stoneware; privy pits and back-lot dumps behind the 1880s business blocks and hotels drawn on the Sanborn sheets.
Access: Gray area.
In North Dakota the bed of the navigable Missouri below the ordinary high-water mark is state-owned public-trust land where digging or removing historic artifacts is restricted; the townsite banks and uplands above that line are typically private and require the current landowner's permission. State law also protects archaeological sites and unmarked human burials, so stop and report if human remains or grave goods appear.
