Jackson (South Fork Forked Deer River)

BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: Tennessee · approx. 35.61, -88.81 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on South Fork of the Forked Deer River, running past the old commercial district

What turns up: Forked Deer banks and old mill and depot areas: hand-blown West Tennessee bottles, stoneware, clay pipes, and 1880s to 1900s dump glass; privies behind early Main Street lots hold intact medicine and soda bottles.

Access: Gray area.

The Forked Deer streambed below the ordinary high-water mark is state public-trust bottomland restricting historic artifact removal; banks and lots are private and need permission. Archaeological sites and unmarked graves are protected.
