The county history of 1900 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 28 fires within 5 miles of Scrub Ridge between 2004 and 2020, burning about 77 acres in total. None started naturally. 1 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:

• Fawcett
• Mineral Springs
• Steam Furnace
• Cedar Mills
• Dunkinsville
• Jones Corner

Every fire recorded in Adams County

Museums hold 1,477 specimens collected within 10 miles of Scrub Ridge between 1866 and 1975: 589 Fungi, 538 Animalia, 316 Plantae, 34 Protozoa. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. B. Seymour, A. Braun, A. Cronquist 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.
