The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 6 fires within 5 miles of Mayo Corners between 2004 and 2020, burning about 6 acres in total. None started naturally. 1 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:

• Blissville
• North Orange
• Tully
• Camp Warwick

Museums hold 361 specimens collected within 10 miles of Mayo Corners between 1856 and 1974: 143 Animalia, 117 Fungi, 100 Plantae, 1 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. M. Ottley, A. S. Goodale, S.F. Potsubay, F.R. St. John, A. S. Goodale, W.C. Markert 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.

Every working recorded in Franklin County

The eight closest, with where each one stands in the county. Distances are straight-line, computed from the Geographic Names Information System coordinates.

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 609440. The sheet list is computed by point-in-boundary test against the United States Geological Survey's historical topographic inventory.
