Where: Texas · approx. 27.53, -99.48 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on The Rio Grande, on the river opposite Nuevo Laredo; the old plaza town sits on the east bank bluff
What turns up: Bank and bluff dumps above the river crossing with border-trade bottles, Mexican ceramics, and 1880s to 1890s beer and soda bottles from a fast-growing rail-and-river town; privy fills behind the San Agustin plaza commercial blocks
Access: Gray area.
The Rio Grande is a navigable boundary river; the state owns the bed to the gradient boundary and the International Boundary and Water Commission oversees the channel, making river-margin digging restricted and federally sensitive. The Antiquities Code of Texas covers state land. Private townsite lots need the owner's permission.
