The Use of Land in the United States
The United States has one of the largest and most diverse landmasses in the world at its disposal. With 3.8 million square miles to deal with, it’s only logical that the land that makes up the United States is used for a variety of purposes based on its location.
While much of the area in the west is used for woods and timber, much of the land in the middle is suitable for farm animals such as cows, sheep, and horses. National parks and the tiny northern speck of land that produces maple syrup, for example, go a long way!
