Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 12 fires within 5 miles of Low Gap between 2014 and 2018, burning about 166 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:

• Flat Iron Corner
• Shady Bend

(Frank), Cusick, A.W., MB Trautman 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.
