Where: Nevada · approx. 41.11, -114.96 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: 1900s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Humboldt River headwaters / Humboldt Wells springs
What turns up: 1900s rail-town saloon, soda, drugstore and store bottles near the Humboldt Wells springs and the old Front Street district
Access: Gray area.
Smaller creeks like Humboldt Wells springs may not be state-owned navigable water, so the bed and the townsite are usually private property that needs the current owner's permission; where a channel is deemed navigable, its bed below the ordinary high-water mark is state land and Nevada's antiquities protections apply. Surrounding open desert is likely federal BLM land, where disturbing a site older than 100 years without a permit violates the federal Archaeological Resources Protection Act. Confirm land status and get permission before digging.
