◼ Should the Government Own So Much Land Out West? Some States Want It Back - THE DAILY SIGNAL
East of the Rocky Mountains, the feds own no more than 13 percent of the land in any state. West of the Rockies, in the continental United States, the federal government owns at least 29.9 percent of the land in each state. In eight states—California, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Wyoming—the feds own more than 40 percent of the land.
When Alaska (69.3 percent) is included, that number grows to nine.
