Regional context, not property-specific
evidence. The
federal wildfire occurrence database
lists 2 fires within 5 miles of Jared Clark House
between 1993 and 2000, burning about 7 acres in total. None started naturally. 1 was 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.

Regional context, not property-specific
evidence. Museums hold 1,200 specimens
collected within 10 miles of Jared Clark House between 1876 and 1975: 1,148 Animalia, 38 Plantae, 9 Fungi, 4 Protozoa, 1 incertae sedis.
12 distinct Species records are shown.
Collected by A. D. Huryn, A. D. Selby, A. Hall 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
8 workings within 5 miles of Jared Clark House: 4 producers, 4 past producers.
4 still produce. What was taken out: Clay, Sand and Gravel, Construction, Bloating Material, Stone, Crushed/Broken. Distance is straight-line from the
map coordinates, so a quarry counted here may appear on a neighbouring

When this property was proposed for the
National Register, someone wrote the case for it: what the building is,
and why it matters. That document is a federal record in the public domain.
It is quoted below word for word, never summarised. The text was read off the scanned case file by machine, so the
occasional stray character is the recogniser's and the 1970s
typewriter's.
