Wabasha Lower Mississippi Port

BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: Minnesota · approx. 44.38, -92.03 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1890s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Mississippi River

What turns up: Steamboat-landing and clamming-era finds along the main channel and backwater sloughs: hand-blown bottles, freshwater-mussel-button factory scrap, and stoneware near the old levee.

Access: Gray area.

The river bed below the ordinary high-water mark is state-owned public trust where removing historic artifacts is restricted; townsite banks and uplands are usually private and need the landowner's permission. State law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials.
