Why this spot
1900s+ Sanborn-mapped town on On the Pea River in the Wiregrass, a river-landing county seat prone to historic flooding.
Confirmed Sanborn coverage on the live LOC index; earliest sheet read as April 1903. Tail-end of the bottle era; repeated flooding has reworked riverside deposits, which can both bury and expose old glass.
