The Dalles, OR: Columbia River steamboat port

BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: Oregon · approx. 45.59, -121.18 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Columbia River

What turns up: 1880s-1900s riverport, wool-warehouse, brewery and saloon bottles in the Columbia waterfront and rail district

Access: Gray area.

The bed of the navigable Columbia River and the banks below the ordinary high-water line are state-owned, and digging or removing historic material there can violate state law. The townsite uplands and old waterfront lots are private and require the landowner's written permission. Nothing here is open public collecting ground without a permit or consent.
