The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 12 fires within 5 miles of Clevelandtown between 2018 and 2020, burning about 2 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:

• Edgartown
• Chappaquiddick
• Katama
• West Opening
• Jerneganville
• Ocean Heights

Museums hold 3,768 specimens collected within 10 miles of Clevelandtown between 1828 and 1975: 2,397 Animalia, 1,024 Plantae, 171 Chromista, 122 Unrecorded, 42 Fungi, 12 Bacteria. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A AND P STARRETT, A. B. Hervey, A. B. Seymour 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 Clevelandtown: 1 past producer. None of them still produces. What was taken out: Sand and Gravel, Construction. 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 Dukes 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 616500.
