Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 3 fires within 5 miles of Lockville between 2012 and 2020, burning about 27 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:

• Canal Winchester
• Carroll
• Chester Heights
• Greencastle
• Harley
• Havensport

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 1,850 specimens collected within 10 miles of Lockville between 1843 and 1975: 1,731 Animalia, 69 Fungi, 46 Plantae, 4 Protozoa. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Asa Gray; W. S. Sullivant, Bales, B. R., Birch, W. 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.
