Where: Texas · approx. 29.31, -96.1 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: 1890s+ Sanborn-mapped town on The Colorado River, at the lower-river crossing in the coastal plantation belt
What turns up: River-crossing and landing dumps along the Colorado with 1890s plantation-trade bottles, ceramics, and merchant glass; privy pits behind the commercial square holding beer, soda, and patent-medicine bottles
Access: Gray area.
The Colorado 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 uplands are private and require the landowner's permission.
