An account from the chapter on Licking township, in the words of 1881.

The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 2 fires within 5 miles of Jacksontown between 2014 and 2015, burning about 3 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:

• Amsterdam
• Claylick
• Fleatown
• Idlewild Park (historical)
• Linnville
• Lloyd Corners

Every fire recorded in Licking County

Museums hold 2,412 specimens collected within 10 miles of Jacksontown between 1843 and 1975: 2,096 Animalia, 243 Fungi, 44 Plantae, 26 Protozoa, 3 Chromista. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. Gray; W. S. Sullivant, A. P. M., A. W. Lindsey 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.
