Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 1 fire within 5 miles of Green Valley between 2012 and 2012, burning about 6 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.

Regional context, not property-specific evidence.

Hall, A. P. Morgan, Adler, K. K. 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.
