Museums hold 2,783 specimens collected within 10 miles of Olentangy Falls between 1850 and 1975: 2,614 Animalia, 94 Plantae, 69 Fungi, 3 Unrecorded, 2 Protozoa, 1 Chromista. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A C Whitney, A S BRADSHAW, A. P. Morgan 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 Delaware 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 2771888. The sheet list is computed by point-in-boundary test against the United States Geological Survey's historical topographic inventory.
