Where: Nebraska · approx. 41.43, -97.37 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Loup River at its mouth on the Platte River
What turns up: Overland-trail and early-rail deposits from the 1860s Mormon and Oregon trail crossing that became a UP town; expect applied-lip sodas, bitters, and household bottles in early lots near the Loup-Platte junction.
Access: Gray area.
Beds of the navigable Platte and Loup below the ordinary high-water mark are state public trust land where artifact removal is restricted; the banks and townsite are private and require permission. Nebraska law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials.
