Where: Virginia · approx. 38.07, -78.89 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on South River, a tributary of the South Fork Shenandoah
What turns up: Valley mill and rail town on the South River: tannery, foundry, and depot refuse with blob and hutchinson sodas, druggist bottles, stoneware, clay pipes, and buttons along the river and early town lots.
Access: Gray area.
The South River bed below the ordinary low-water line is public-trust land owned by the Commonwealth where relic removal is restricted; private mill and town lots on the Sanborn footprint need the owner's permission. State law protects archaeological sites, and Shenandoah Valley Civil War ground carries added restrictions.
