Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 4 fires within 5 miles of Jackson in 2019, burning about 14 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:

Every fire recorded in Morrow County

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 37 specimens collected within 10 miles of Jackson between 1920 and 1969: 36 Animalia, 1 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by C. G. Lloyd, Gelfellen, M., Gelfellen, M. & Trautman, M. B. (Milton Bernard) 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.

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal mineral resources record lists 2 workings within 5 miles of Jackson: 2 past producers. None of them still produces. What was taken out: Sand and Gravel, Construction. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a quarry counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.
