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
I can’t wait for lab grown meat.
I’m excited for the possibility of being an ethical cannibal. Imagine being able to take a tissue sample and then grow a steak that’s made of you.
Belle Delphine was a pioneer with her bath water. Can she do it again?
“Hey guys, you all say that you eat ass and here’s your chance to prove it!”
no
Finally we can join Grace in enjoying a MeBurger
Rocky gang rise up
Gives new meaning to the word mastication
no way urban is that big compared to rural
does urban here include suburbia??
Where else would suburbia belong? The images I’ve seen from the US looks very much like urban environment
Yes it does frequently include the suburbs. Also there are LOTS of small cities that are urban - its not just NYC and Los Angelos. Its… Irvine, CA. Its… Portland, Oregon.
Poor people of Cleveland. The ground being covered in maple syrup sure is a sticky situation.

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
Wyerhauser?

Vermont as urban? Vermont? The state with the least amount of people in it?
The locations are arbitrary, it’s just visualizing total land usage. In reality everything would be intermixed
Nope, it’s official, we’re all moving to Vermont now. Your current home will be demolished in 72 hours or less.
Please. My shithole house was built more than 100 years ago and despite all the repairs and improvements, its original design was likely its best and easiest to maintain. Also the rural location is bad. It was a great town 100+ years ago.
OP do you know where this is from its cool?
I think you’ll find that Wyoming is the state with the fewest people.
You’re right on your main point, though, it’s not exactly Manhattan 😄
What is this supposed to be?
It’s a map of what percent of us land each thing takes up
I assume this is overall percentage across the US, and it’s not implying that certain regions are mapped to certain industries.
A more square America.
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.
Yes, you are right, for pastures. The category Lifestock feed is soybean, corn, wheat, barley and triticale, all that goes into the stomachs of monogastric animals (pigs, poultry, … humans).
Fuck it, united single-use zones of America
Rip South Carolina and their Rhode Island sized golf course.
Mining in the US is too tiny to note?
I guess it mostly uses land vertically not horizontally
Cemeteries don’t deserve a call-out?
“Rural housing”
that’s where your rent control is
Most of Montana, 62% officially, is fields so that seems really inaccurate
The position on the diagram is arbitrary, it just shows the proportion of land use type
That makes much more sense, I wonder why they decided to post it without context. I just assumed it was some kind of “how the USA looks to a […]” meme.
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.
Damn, Michigan is lazy asf
