The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 65 fires within 5 miles of Latham between 2003 and 2020, burning about 241 acres in total. 1 started naturally. 2 were 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:

• Arkoe
• Byington
• Kincaid Springs
• Morgantown
• Lapperell
• Spellman Crossing

Museums hold 937 specimens collected within 10 miles of Latham between 1896 and 1975: 768 Animalia, 123 Fungi, 41 Plantae, 3 Protozoa, 2 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A VERWYST, A. Braun, A. Cronquist 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.
