Where: Kansas · approx. 38.05, -97.34 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Sand Creek through town; the Little Arkansas River lies about 1.5 miles east
What turns up: Cowtown saloon and gaming debris and creekbank dumps: whiskey flasks, blob-top sodas, cartridge cases from the 1871 Hyde Park gunfight era, and 1870s to 1900 bottles near the old business row and the creek.
Access: Gray area.
Sand Creek and the nearby Little Arkansas at this reach are likely non-navigable, so their beds may be privately owned to the riparian line rather than state public trust; obtain the landowner's permission before searching banks or bed. Kansas law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials.
