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.

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 88 specimens collected within 10 miles of Spencer Station between 1887 and 1975: 60 Animalia, 28 Plantae. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Adams, W. (William), Trautman, M. B. (Milton Bernard) et al., Buker, W.E., Buker, W.E.; Henry, L.K. 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.
