Look for the big checkerboard pattern; it's a dead giveaway.




Or even driven. California by itself is for the most part empty.


Try northern Montana sometime- I'm from North Dakota, and that area
makes _us_ look crowded.

The big green circles are also a dead giveaway, but in some areas, like
the western plains, the wheat fields stretch as far as the eye can see,
and may not be easy to distinguish from a tall-grass prairie from a
distance. Rangeland may be impossible to distinguish from a short-grass
prairie. Tree farms may also be difficult to distinguish from
old-growth forests - for someone who is not familiar with the appearance
of old-growth forests.

Around here (North Dakota) we have old-growth shelter belts.
