La Grange

BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: Texas · approx. 29.91, -96.88 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on The Colorado River, at the crossing below the bluff town

What turns up: River-crossing and ferry-landing dumps along the Colorado with strong German and Czech mercantile material, blob-top beers, and stoneware; privy pits behind the 1880s commercial square holding sodas and medicine bottles

Access: Gray area.

The Colorado River is a navigable state watercourse; the state owns the bed to the gradient boundary, so in-channel and bank digging is restricted and the Antiquities Code of Texas protects sites on state land. The townsite uplands are private and need the owner's permission.
