Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 123 fires within 5 miles of Okeafenoke Swamp (historical) between 1992 and 2020, burning about 1,664 acres in total. 67 started naturally. 14 were 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.

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 169 specimens collected within 10 miles of Okeafenoke Swamp (historical) between 1861 and 1975: 61 Animalia, 58 Plantae, 46 Fungi, 3 Unrecorded, 1 Protozoa. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. & H. Dietrich, A. H. Antonie, A.E. Daugherty and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.
