Victoria

Where: Texas · approx. 28.81, -97.0 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on The Guadalupe River, on the river above its run to San Antonio Bay

What turns up: Riverbank and old landing dumps along the Guadalupe with mid to late 19th-century bottles, German-merchant glass, and ceramics from one of Texas's oldest towns; deep privy pits behind the substantial commercial district holding beers, sodas, and bitters

Access: Gray area.

The Guadalupe River is a navigable state watercourse; the state owns the bed to the gradient boundary, so digging in the river or on the bank is restricted and the Antiquities Code of Texas protects sites on state land. Townsite lots are private and require the landowner's permission.
