South Point, Ohio

South Point fell from 3,958 to 3,836 between 2010 and 2020. These are the recorded population figures Wikidata holds for this place, reached through the Geographic Names Information System number this page is keyed on rather than by name, so they belong to this place and not to another of the same name. Most are census counts, but not all are: an early figure may be a founding or settlement estimate. The change column is computed, and is left blank where more than 20 years separate a figure from the one before it, because a gap that long is not a change between two counts.

The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 28 fires within 5 miles of South Point between 1997 and 2020, burning about 82 acres in total. None started naturally. 3 were 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:

• North Kenova
• Brayfield
• Brookdale
• Burlington
• Clearview
• Montreal (historical)

Museums hold 836 specimens collected within 10 miles of South Point between 1880 and 1972: 542 Animalia, 138 Plantae, 133 Fungi, 20 Protozoa, 2 Unrecorded, 1 Chromista. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Archer W. A., Avery W. B., BARBOUR, DOUGLAS I 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 South Point: 4 past producers, 2 unknowns. None of them still produces. What was taken out: Sand and Gravel, Construction, Iron, Sulfur. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a quarry counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.

Every working recorded in Lawrence 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 1065353. The sheet list is computed by point-in-boundary test against the United States Geological Survey's historical topographic inventory.
