Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 7 fires within 5 miles of Coal Hill between 2013 and 2019, burning about 40 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:

• Young Hickory
• Zeno
• High Hill
• Museville
• Ruraldale
• Saint Clair (historical)

Every fire recorded in Muskingum County

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 37 specimens collected within 10 miles of Coal Hill between 1931 and 1972: 35 Animalia, 2 Plantae. 9 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Adams, W.; Starrett, J., Adler, K. K., CHARLES WALKER 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.
