Across 840 square miles, under one square mile of Bossier Parish maps onto soluble rock. With about 131,102 residents (156 per square mile), homes are spread across towns and farmland, and a mapped unit may or may not reach the developed parts. The figures come from 242 map points about 1.9 miles apart, so a pocket smaller than that can be missed or overstated.
