tration gives the relative sizes^ positions and distances of the mounds composing the group. The group is situated on the highest point of hind in the township, and from the summit of the hirgest mound a view of the surrounding country can be obtained. To the east, if the forest trees did not intervene, the city of Hamilton could be seen ; while to the south it overlooks the Colerain hills. Its position indicates that it was used as a signal station. A fire on the mound on Wilson's hill, section thirty-one, of St. Clair Township, would be instantly seen, and then the watchman on this mound would warn the people of the valley to flee to the forts in that vicinity. This mound would serve as the signal station for all the enclosures in the township, also a part of those in Fairfield and the Colerain works in Hamilton County.
Regional context, not property-specific
evidence. Museums hold 195 specimens
collected within 10 miles of Howell and Anna Powell Farm between 1835 and
1975: 146 Animalia, 38 Plantae, 9 Fungi, 2 Protozoa. 12 distinct Species records are shown.
Collected by A. R. Gaufin, A.R. Gaufin, H.H. Ross, Arden R. Gaufin 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.
Regional context, not property-specific
evidence. The federal mineral resources record lists
16 workings within 5 miles of Howell and Anna Powell Farm: 7 past producers, 7 producers, 2 plants.
9 still produce. 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.
Regional context, not property-specific
evidence. The National Weather Service names
Fairfield, the town this property stands in, in 25 storm reports between 1993 and 2025: 14 thunderstorm wind, 7 hail, 2 flood, 1 lightning.
No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office
filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
Numerous trees were uprooted, several chimneys were damaged, several buildings had siding torn and shingles blown off, a carport collapsed, a power pole was snapped, and twenty cars at a car dealership sustained minor damage due to thunderstorm winds. In addition, the roofs of two businesses were damaged due to the winds.
Two large oak trees were knocked down on a house, causing extensive damage. Four vehicles were also damaged. The location was reported as being in Hamilton at the corner of Beech and Pleasant avenues.
