All you really need is a hand held GPS device to determine the coordinates of the lot in question and then go to the geological map and transfer the data. That should pinpoint your lot in reference to sinkholes or sinkhole prone areas. These devices are not expensive and you can get them locally at Radio Shack or Best Buy. Just a thought.
