Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 1 fire within 5 miles of Memphis between 2006 and 2006, 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.

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 192 specimens collected within 10 miles of Memphis between 1892 and 1973: 138 Fungi, 33 Animalia, 12 Protozoa, 8 Plantae, 1 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Collector(s): Floyd E. Durham, Cooke, William Bridge, Cooke, William Bridge; Zundel, G. 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.
