An account from the chapter on Jefferson township, in the words of 1883.

The county history of 1883 has no passage naming this settlement, which was common for the smaller places. Its township is covered in full.

Museums hold 617 specimens collected within 10 miles of Willows (historical) between 1885 and 1975: 527 Animalia, 58 Fungi, 32 Plantae. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. Spreitzer, B. Fink, Betz, E. 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.

All 617 specimens within 10 miles, at the Global Biodiversity Information Facility.

The federal mineral resources record lists 2 workings within 5 miles of Willows (historical): 2 past producers. None of them still produces. What was taken out: Limestone, General, Dolomite, 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.
