The county history of 1883 has no passage naming this settlement, which was common for the smaller places. Its township is covered in full.

The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 7 fires within 5 miles of Redoak between 2003 and 2020, burning about 8 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:

• Russellville
• Decatur
• Neel
• East Wahlsburg
• Stringtown
• Arnheim

Every fire recorded in Brown County

Museums hold 374 specimens collected within 10 miles of Redoak between 1883 and 1974: 287 Animalia, 76 Fungi, 11 Plantae. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A JOHN, A. Braun, ANSEL JOHN 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.

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 1057947. The sheet list is computed by point-in-boundary test against the United States Geological Survey's historical topographic inventory.
