The modern record here
4 settlementsWhat the federal record holds for each settlement inside this township: wildfires and storm reports since the 1950s, mineral workings, and museum specimens collected nearby. These are counted within a few miles of each settlement, so neighbours share them and the columns are deliberately not added up. Every row links to the settlement's own page, where each figure is broken out.
| Settlement | Fires | Storm reports | Mines and quarries | Specimens |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bassett (historical) | 2 | - | - | 346 |
| Denver | - | - | - | 241 |
| Hammansburg | 2 | - | - | 482 |
| North Baltimore | - | 17 | - | 285 |

The chapter
59 wordsReproduced complete and unedited. The text is machine-read from a scan of the 1897 printing, so expect the errors a machine makes reading a century-old page: misspelled names, dropped words, stray characters. Nothing has been corrected, because correcting a proper name invents one. The headings below are the book's own.
