Federal land ownership


This is a fascinating map of Federal land ownership percentages by state. I love how the states are rendered to scale to represent the proportion visually.

I find the comparison between California and Texas quite interesting as well. For one thing I had no idea so much of CA was federally-owned; likewise I had no idea so little of Texas was. This is probably a reflection of the amount of protected land and natural resources between the two states. I think there's a lot more in Texas that should be protected but probably isn't.
