The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 39 fires within 5 miles of McLeish between 2002 and 2020, burning about 43 acres in total. None 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:

• Glouster
• Oakdale
• Trimble
• Hartleyville
• Hollister
• Hunterdon

Every fire recorded in Athens County

Museums hold 64 specimens collected within 10 miles of McLeish between 1898 and 1972: 53 Animalia, 9 Plantae, 2 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Bolen, H. (Harold), Collector(s): John W. Meldrim, DAVID M SEVER 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.

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 1076368. The sheet list is computed by point-in-boundary test against the United States Geological Survey's historical topographic inventory.
