Where: Kansas · approx. 37.75, -100.02 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Arkansas River (north bank)
What turns up: Front Street saloon and gaming debris and river-frontage dumps: whiskey and bitters bottles, blob-top sodas, cartridge cases, buffalo-hunter camp relics, gaming tokens, and 1870s to 1890s glass along the old business row and the river bank.
Access: Gray area.
The Arkansas River is treated as navigable in Kansas, so its bed below the ordinary high-water mark is state-owned public trust with restrictions on removing historic artifacts. The townsite banks and uplands are usually private and need the landowner's permission. Kansas law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials, including Boot Hill era ground.
