BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: Texas · approx. 30.09, -93.74 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on The Sabine River near its mouth at Sabine Lake, on the Texas-Louisiana line

What turns up: Sawmill and riverfront dumps along the Sabine with 1880s to 1890s lumber-boom bottles, saloon glass, and mill-worker refuse; privy pits behind the waterfront commercial district holding beer and patent-medicine bottles

Access: Gray area.

The Sabine River is a navigable boundary 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. Townsite lots are private and need the owner's permission.
