The county-history sources names this settlement in its chapter on Madison Township. These are the passages that mention it, exactly as the scans read.

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 17 fires within 5 miles of Mount Perry between 2013 and 2020, burning about 38 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:

• Chalfants
• Glass Rock
• Glenford
• Sego
• Yost
• Ziontown

Every fire recorded in Perry County

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 171 specimens collected within 10 miles of Mount Perry between 1891 and 1975: 157 Animalia, 7 Fungi, 4 Plantae, 2 Unrecorded, 1 Protozoa. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Bergstrom, J., Buchanan, J., Buker, W.E. 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.

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal mineral resources record lists 1 working within 5 miles of Mount Perry: 1 producer. All of them still produce. What was taken out: Stone, Crushed/Broken. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a quarry counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.

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 1048992.
