The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 2 fires within 5 miles of East Monroe between 2006 and 2006, burning about 1 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:

• Bridges
• Highland
• Highland Station
• Leesburg

Museums hold 536 specimens collected within 10 miles of East Monroe between 1880 and 1975: 364 Animalia, 141 Fungi, 18 Plantae, 12 Protozoa, 1 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Barnes, M. (Mark) & Cloggett, L., Bowen, C. A. (Charles A.), Brown, H P 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 2 workings within 5 miles of East Monroe: 2 past producers. None of them still produces. What was taken out: Limestone, General, Stone, Crushed/Broken. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a quarry counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.
