The county history of 1858 has no passage naming this settlement, which was common for the smaller places. Its township is covered in full.

Museums hold 2,054 specimens collected within 10 miles of Waterston between 1840 and 1975: 1,842 Animalia, 167 Plantae, 45 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A C Whitney, A. J. Basinger, A. J. Penniman 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 Waterston: 1 producer, 1 past producer. 1 still produces. What was taken out: Clay. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a quarry counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.

Every working recorded in Franklin County

The eight closest, with where each one stands in the county. Distances are straight-line, computed from the Geographic Names Information System coordinates.

Matched on this settlement's Geographic Names Information System number rather than its name, so it cannot be a different place of the same name in another state.

This settlement is recorded in the Geographic Names Information System as feature 2771204.
