The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 26 fires within 5 miles of Mooresville between 2010 and 2020, burning about 45 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:

• Charleston (historical)
• Tucson
• Jarvis
• Poe Valley (historical)
• Schrader
• Delano

Museums hold 1,671 specimens collected within 10 miles of Mooresville between 1885 and 1975: 1,273 Animalia, 323 Fungi, 66 Plantae, 6 Protozoa, 2 Unrecorded, 1 Chromista. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. C. Kinsey, A. C. Lincoln, A. Cronquist 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.
