I did a little rough measuring around TV for no particular reason other than interest, and using Google Maps found that the distance from the northern most end of Buena Vista to where it's roughly expected to end after the buildout is approximately 13 miles. East-West measuring would consistantly change as you proceed south on both sides, especially with the southern Lake Co area. So I didn't bother with that. Using the Sumpter Co Assessors map, the circumfrence around Sumpter Co only is roughly estimated at 33 miles. I didn't go any further than that. Again, these roughly estimated figures are presented for no particular reason other than interest and it's in line with what's being discussed here. Please keep that in mind.
