The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 16 fires within 5 miles of Turkey between 2006 and 2020, burning about 41 acres in total. None started naturally. 2 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:

• Gall (historical)
• Harriett
• Lincolnville
• Coon Crossing
• Elmville
• North Uniontown

Every fire recorded in Highland County

Museums hold 1,085 specimens collected within 10 miles of Turkey between 1876 and 1975: 623 Animalia, 368 Fungi, 81 Plantae, 10 Protozoa, 3 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by 14505, 14519, 14555 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 2 workings within 5 miles of Turkey: 2 past producers. None of them still produces. What was taken out: Stone, Crushed/Broken, Limestone, General. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a quarry counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.
