Museums hold 72 specimens collected within 10 miles of Essex between 1892 and 1974: 67 Animalia, 2 Plantae, 2 Fungi, 1 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by CL & LC Hubbs, E E Bogue, H.T. Osborn 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.

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 1083981. The sheet list is computed by point-in-boundary test against the United States Geological Survey's historical topographic inventory.
