Museums hold 289 specimens collected within 10 miles of Rockaway between 1891 and 1969: 252 Animalia, 20 Fungi, 17 Plantae. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. Woolman, Babcock D. C., Baker O. 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.

The federal mineral resources record lists 2 workings within 5 miles of Rockaway: 1 past producer, 1 producer. 1 still produces. What was taken out: Limestone, General, Stone, Crushed/Broken.

Every working recorded in Seneca 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 1061622. The sheet list is computed by point-in-boundary test against the United States Geological Survey's historical topographic inventory.
