An account from the chapter on Independence township, in the words of 1902.

The county history of 1902 has no passage naming this settlement, which was common for the smaller places. Its township is covered in full.

The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 24 fires within 5 miles of Archers Fork between 2001 and 2020, burning about 161 acres in total. None started naturally. 7 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.

Settlements close enough to share some of these fires:

• Deucher
• Schley
• Shay
• Steel Run
• Dart
• Fay

Every fire recorded in Washington County

Museums hold 249 specimens collected within 10 miles of Archers Fork between 1853 and 1975: 221 Animalia, 20 Plantae, 7 Fungi, 1 Chromista. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Albert Hazen Wright, Bartholomew, E.A., Bartholomew, E.A.; Bumgarner, R. 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.

The federal mineral resources record lists 1 working within 5 miles of Archers Fork: 1 producer. All of them still produce. What was taken out: Gemstone. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a quarry counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.

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 1075273.
