Stillwater St. Croix Lumber Port

BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: Minnesota · approx. 45.06, -92.81 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on St. Croix River

What turns up: Peak lumber-boom debris: brewery and saloon bottles, stoneware, and sawmill-era glass in privy pits and dump layers along the St. Croix levee and old boom-site shoreline.

Access: Gray area.

The St. Croix bed below the ordinary high-water mark is state-owned public trust with restricted artifact removal, and the river is also a federally protected scenic waterway; the townsite banks and uplands are typically private and require the landowner's permission. Minnesota law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials.
