Across 406 square miles, under one square mile of Morrow County maps onto soluble rock. With about 35,927 residents (88 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 305 map points about 1.2 miles apart, so a pocket smaller than that can be missed or overstated.
