The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 12 fires within 5 miles of Rock between 2005 and 2020, burning about 30 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:

• Rush
• Elm (historical)
• Gilmore
• Stillwater
• Newport
• Riverside Park

Every fire recorded in Tuscarawas County

Museums hold 208 specimens collected within 10 miles of Rock between 1851 and 1973: 141 Animalia, 34 Plantae, 33 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. Perry, Adams J. M. R., Adams J. R. M. 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.

The federal mineral resources record lists 6 workings within 5 miles of Rock: 4 past producers, 2 producers. 2 still produce. What was taken out: Clay, Stone, Crushed/Broken, Clay, Coal. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a quarry counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.
