Central City (Platte River valley town)

BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: Nebraska · approx. 41.12, -98.0 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Platte River, on the north bank of the central Platte valley

What turns up: 1880s to 1890s county-seat and rail-town refuse; expect druggist bottles, sodas and beers, and stoneware in privies behind the historic square and depot district.

Access: Gray area.

The Platte bed below the ordinary high-water mark is state public trust land with restricted artifact removal; the townsite and river banks are private and need the owner's permission. State law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials.
