The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 1 fire within 5 miles of Crosstown between 2012 and 2012, burning about 0 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:

• Andersonville
• Bardwell
• Bloom Rose (historical)
• Bodman
• Centerville
• Eastwood

Every fire recorded in Brown County

Museums hold 222 specimens collected within 10 miles of Crosstown between 1886 and 1974: 120 Fungi, 84 Animalia, 16 Plantae, 2 Protozoa. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. B. Seymour, Arden R. Gaufin, Baur, Kay E. 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.
