Where: Kansas · approx. 37.69, -97.33 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Arkansas River at the Little Arkansas River confluence
What turns up: Cattle-town saloon and camp debris along the river bends: whiskey flasks, blob-top and Hutchinson sodas, druggist bottles embossed Wichita, cartridge cases, and Chisholm Trail era small finds near Delano and the old crossings.
Access: Gray area.
The Arkansas River is treated as navigable in Kansas, so its bed below the ordinary high-water mark is state-owned public trust where removing historic artifacts is restricted. The banks and uplands are typically private and require the landowner's permission. Kansas law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials.
