Fort Scott Marmaton River frontier fort town

BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: Kansas · approx. 37.84, -94.71 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Marmaton River, north and east of the city

What turns up: Fort and Civil War era ground plus riverbank dumps: military brass and buttons, cartridge and percussion-era relics, 1860s to 1900 bottles, stoneware, and back-lot privy fill near the old fort and river.

Access: Gray area.

Navigability of the Marmaton here is uncertain, so the streambed may be privately owned to the riparian line rather than state public trust; obtain the landowner's permission before searching banks or bed. Kansas law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials, and the fort grounds are a protected historic site.
