The charts in the report are obviously incomplete/erroneous. There have been numerous sinkholes reported in the Tierra Del Sol Area, near Lopez, a few near Mallory, as well as other villages, that are not shown. Perhaps those are old maps, or else there has not been a good effort to report the sinkholes. In any event, the sinkhole activity most likely would have occurred after The Villages development, because they tend to happen in areas where the groundwater is disturbed due to earth moving or there are changes in water patterns.
