The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 54 fires within 5 miles of Spellman Crossing between 2006 and 2020, burning about 239 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:

• Lapperell
• Newfain

Museums hold 439 specimens collected within 10 miles of Spellman Crossing between 1926 and 1975: 405 Animalia, 24 Fungi, 7 Plantae, 2 Unrecorded, 1 Protozoa. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A VERWYST, 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.
