BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: Texas · approx. 26.4, -99.02 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1890s+ Sanborn-mapped town on The Rio Grande, on a bluff above the historic river landing opposite Ciudad Miguel Aleman

What turns up: Bluff and landing dumps above the river with border-trade bottles, Mexican ceramics, and 1890s glass; privy pits behind the well-preserved brick riverfront buildings holding beer and soda bottles

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, so river-margin digging is restricted and federally sensitive. The Antiquities Code of Texas protects state land, and much of the historic riverfront is a designated district. Private lots need the owner's permission.
