Across 273 square miles, under one square mile of Gregg County maps onto soluble rock. With about 126,679 residents (463 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 587 map points about 0.7 miles apart, so a pocket smaller than that can be missed or overstated.
