The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 68 fires within 5 miles of Buchanan between 2006 and 2020, burning about 81 acres in total. 1 started naturally. 2 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:

• Daleyville
• Idaho
• Stony Ridge (historical)
• Tennyson
• Cynthiana
• Elm Grove

Museums hold 1,386 specimens collected within 10 miles of Buchanan between 1889 and 1975: 1,309 Animalia, 36 Plantae, 36 Fungi, 3 Protozoa, 2 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A VERWYST, A. Braun, Allen, E. (Ed) 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.
