What this means before you buy

No soluble bedrock is mapped here, so natural sinkholes are unlikely. Collapses from broken pipes or old mines are a separate risk.

Across 564 square miles, under one square mile of Coshocton County maps onto soluble rock. With about 37,003 residents (66 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 349 map points about 1.3 miles apart, so a pocket smaller than that can be missed or overstated.
