Across 1,230 square miles, under one square mile of Terrebonne Parish maps onto soluble rock. With about 103,864 residents (84 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 256 map points about 2.2 miles apart, so a pocket smaller than that can be missed or overstated.
