Why this spot: 1890s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Gila River
What turns up: 1880s to 1890s adobe town debris on the Gila terraces: applied top whiskeys, Hutchinson and blob sodas, patent medicine and bitters bottles from Main Street mercantiles, and Mexican and Anglo household ceramics near the old plaza and river bank.
Access: Gray area.
The Gila River bed is a contested navigable water question with restrictions on artifact removal; townsite lots are private and need permission; surrounding land includes state trust and federal parcels where disturbing sites over 100 years old without a permit is barred, and the Gila River Indian Community lies downstream with its own tribal rules.
