Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 4 fires within 5 miles of Solon (historical) between 2006 and 2018, burning about 3 acres in total. None started naturally. None was recorded as arson. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a fire counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.

The most recent of them, most recent first, with the day each was reported and the service that recorded it.

Settlements close enough to share some of these fires:

• North Edwards
• North Muroc (historical)
• Cantil
• Cawelo
• Cherokee Strip
• Dow

Every fire recorded in Kern County

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal mineral resources record lists 5 workings within 5 miles of Solon (historical): 4 past producers, 1 prospect. None of them still produces. What was taken out: Clay, Bentonite, Boron-Borates. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a quarry counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.

Every working recorded in Kern County

The eight closest, with where each one stands in the county. Distances are straight-line, computed from the Geographic Names Information System coordinates.

Matched on this settlement's Geographic Names Information System number rather than its name, so it cannot be a different place of the same name in another state.

This settlement is recorded in the Geographic Names Information System as feature 1666701. The sheet list is computed by point-in-boundary test against the United States Geological Survey's historical topographic inventory.
