Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 1 fire within 5 miles of South Thompson between 2020 and 2020, burning about 1 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.

Every fire recorded in Geauga County

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 269 specimens collected within 10 miles of South Thompson between 1885 and 1975: 226 Animalia, 39 Plantae, 4 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. N. Rood, A.E. Daugherty, Armbruster, D. C. (Daniel C.) 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.
