Across 567 square miles, under one square mile of Clinton County maps onto soluble rock. With about 80,050 residents (141 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 391 map points about 1.2 miles apart, so a pocket smaller than that can be missed or overstated.
