Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The federal government owns the majority of land in the "New West," which includes areas such as Nevada, Utah, Idaho, and portions of Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico. The Bureau of Land Management alone manages over 245 million acres of federal land in the United States. While there are significant numbers of ranchers and mining companies in these areas, they do not collectively own as much land as the federal government. Retirees and Native Americans also do not own large amounts of land in this region.
