Jefferson

Where: Texas · approx. 32.76, -94.35 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Big Cypress Bayou, the steamboat channel connecting through Caddo Lake to the Red River

What turns up: Steamboat-landing and turning-basin dumps along the bayou with antebellum and Reconstruction-era bottles, transfer-print ceramics, and shipping refuse; privy pits behind the old brick riverport commercial row holding blob-top and applied-lip bottles

Access: Gray area.

Big Cypress Bayou is a navigable state watercourse; the state owns the bed to the gradient boundary, so digging in the bayou or its banks is restricted and the Antiquities Code of Texas protects sites on state land. The riverport uplands are private and require the landowner's permission.
