Huron (James River division point)

BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: South Dakota · approx. 44.36, -98.21 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on James River, which loops through the west side of town

What turns up: Railroad-shop and division-point debris near the yards and the James River crossing: embossed bottles, tin, coal-era hardware, and privy fill behind the earliest hotel and saloon row by the depot.

Access: Gray area.

The James riverbed below the ordinary high-water mark is state public trust where artifact removal is restricted; the town and railroad ground are private or corporate property needing permission.
