Across 282 square miles, under one square mile of Madison County maps onto soluble rock. With about 32,771 residents (116 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 251 map points about 1.1 miles apart, so a pocket smaller than that can be missed or overstated.
