Where: Nevada · approx. 39.0, -119.85 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Carson Valley / Genoa Creek
What turns up: 1850s-1900s trading-post, saloon and store bottles and stoneware near Genoa Creek and the old townsite at the base of the Sierra
Access: Gray area.
Smaller creeks like Genoa Creek may not be state-owned navigable water, so the bed and the townsite are usually private property that needs the current owner's permission; where a channel is deemed navigable, its bed below the ordinary high-water mark is state land and Nevada's antiquities protections apply. Surrounding open desert is likely federal BLM land, where disturbing a site older than 100 years without a permit violates the federal Archaeological Resources Protection Act. Confirm land status and get permission before digging.
