The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 74 fires within 5 miles of Stony Ridge (historical) between 2004 and 2020, burning about 122 acres in total. 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.

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:

• Pleasant Valley
• Tennyson
• Camp
• Elm Grove
• Idaho
• Jasper

Museums hold 1,844 specimens collected within 10 miles of Stony Ridge (historical) between 1889 and 1975: 1,669 Animalia, 126 Fungi, 44 Plantae, 3 Protozoa, 2 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A VERWYST, A. Braun, Allen, E. (Ed) 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 1 working within 5 miles of Stony Ridge (historical): 1 past producer. None of them still produces. What was taken out: Sand and Gravel, Construction. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a quarry counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.
