What kind of land do 100 largest landowning families have that it’s not covered under other categories? (Other than timberland in the top left?)
Private mansions, estates, forests I would imagine
Underwater land
No section for parking lots? That would probably take up about 25% of the map
Most likely part of ‘urban commercial’ and the housing sections
Fuck it, united single-use zones of America
Poor people of Cleveland. The ground being covered in maple syrup sure is a sticky situation.
the blue part at the top should actually read “federal, national, and state parks made up of stolen tribal lands”.
I think that’s true of the entire country, except maybe the desert between Phoenix and Vegas.
Mining in the US is too tiny to note?
daily reminder that most of the land that is used to grow livestock feed is land that is not fertile enough to grow things like wheat but can still grow things like grass
Except its use as pasture has wrecked the ecosystem that would be there otherwise. From forcing certain plant life to driving out predators, “would still be grass” isn’t really saying much when the damage is severe nonetheless.

The position on the diagram is arbitrary, it just shows the proportion of land use type

Ah that makes a lot of sense. I was wondering how the Adirondacks in NY and northern Vermont are “Urban Commercial housing” and north eastern tip of Ohio is maple syrup.
