Brainerd Mississippi Railroad Town

BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: Minnesota · approx. 46.36, -94.2 (vicinity only)

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

What turns up: Railroad-shop and lumber-era debris: saloon and brewery bottles, stoneware, and dump glass in privies near the old Northern Pacific yards and Mississippi River crossing.

Access: Gray area.

The Mississippi bed below the ordinary high-water mark is state-owned public trust where removing historic artifacts is restricted; the banks and uplands are generally private and require the landowner's permission. Minnesota law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials.
