The county history of 1900 has no passage naming this settlement, which was common for the smaller places. Its township is covered in full.

The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 36 fires within 5 miles of Whippoorwill between 2003 and 2020, burning about 41 acres in total. None started naturally. 9 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:

• Unity
• West Union
• Beasley Fork
• Harshasville
• Moore (historical)
• Wheat Ridge

Every fire recorded in Adams County

Museums hold 867 specimens collected within 10 miles of Whippoorwill between 1866 and 1975: 464 Animalia, 276 Fungi, 109 Plantae, 18 Protozoa. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. B. Seymour, A. Cronquist, A. J. Sharp 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 Whippoorwill: 1 producer. All of them still produce. What was taken out: Stone, Crushed/Broken. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a quarry counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.
