The chapter on Boston Township in Centennial History of Summit County, Ohio and Representative Citizens, published 1908 names Boston. This is what it says, exactly as the scans read.

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 7 fires within 5 miles of Lock No. 33 between 1993 and 2012, burning about 2 acres in total. 1 started naturally. 2 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.

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 746 specimens collected within 10 miles of Lock No. 33 between 1877 and 1973: 717 Animalia, 18 Plantae, 11 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. Black, A. Hall, Adams J. M. R. 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.

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 reproduced in full on its own page, word for word and 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.

The whole case file for this property - 504 words, 4 pages, reproduced complete.

Quoted from the National Register nomination for reference 79000309, 4 pages, held by the National Archives in Record Group 79. See the catalogue record.

Other National Register properties close enough to walk or drive between, ordered by distance from this one. Both positions come from the same geocoding pass that matched these properties to their map sheets.
