Across 217 square miles, under one square mile of Muscogee County maps onto soluble rock. With about 201,830 residents (932 per square mile), most of the county is built up, so a mapped unit is likely to sit under somebody's street. The figures come from 596 map points about 0.6 miles apart, so a pocket smaller than that can be missed or overstated.
