The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 40 fires within 5 miles of Spring Valley between 2001 and 2020, burning about 148 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:

• Fairview
• Mills
• Mills Village
• Morton Flats
• Pleasant Valley Estates
• Spring Valle Estates

Every fire recorded in Gallia County

Museums hold 359 specimens collected within 10 miles of Spring Valley between 1888 and 1973: 183 Animalia, 122 Fungi, 40 Plantae, 12 Chromista, 2 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Archer, W. A., Babcocks D. O., C. Gilbert & J. Henshall 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.
