Blair (Missouri River bluff town)

BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: Nebraska · approx. 41.54, -96.12 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Missouri River, on the bluffs above the west-bank bottoms near the old De Soto landing

What turns up: 1870s to 1890s privy vaults from a railroad and river-crossing town; expect local sodas and beers, druggist bottles, and stoneware behind early Washington Street blocks above the Missouri bottoms.

Access: Gray area.

The Missouri bed below the ordinary high-water mark is state public trust land where artifact removal is restricted; the bluff lots and bottoms are private and require permission. Nebraska law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials.
