Canon City, CO: Arkansas River town at the canyon mouth

BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: Colorado · approx. 38.45, -105.24 (vicinity only)

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

What turns up: 1880s to 1900s saloon, druggist, soda and beer bottles and settler-era ceramics in privies and river-terrace fill behind the historic Main Street blocks

Access: Gray area.

The Canon City townsite is private and the Arkansas bed cannot be dug by the public, so the adjacent owner's permission is needed; surrounding land includes BLM parcels where disturbing century-old sites without a permit is barred.
