The county history of 1883 has no passage naming this settlement, which was common for the smaller places. Its township is covered in full.

The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 1 fire within 5 miles of Locust Ridge between 2012 and 2012, burning about 0 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:

• Andersonville
• Bardwell
• Bloom Rose (historical)
• Bodman
• Centerville
• Crosstown

Every fire recorded in Brown County

Museums hold 292 specimens collected within 10 miles of Locust Ridge between 1886 and 1974: 164 Animalia, 103 Fungi, 23 Plantae, 2 Protozoa. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A JOHN, A. Braun, Baur, Kay E. 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.

Matched on this settlement's Geographic Names Information System number rather than its name, so it cannot be a different place of the same name in another state.

This settlement is recorded in the Geographic Names Information System as feature 1057815.
