It was close to the town and easy to dig in - considering the health of the people. The landowners have given permission to explore a larger area which includes the sandy hill.

I know it's not exactly a genealogy question. However, it would be very helpful for the history of the area. As some of you might know, there has been an archaeological dig at the Keeran Ranch for evidence of Fort St. Louis. They are now looking for the cemetary where some of the French were buried. They have very limited time to find it. (About a week is my understanding.)
