I have to tell you, there's plenty of farmed land on the entire west coast this map does not depict. Less than half of the areas labeled timberlands are forested, as a generous estimate.

Edit: as the comments under this state, I just didn't understand what was being represented and how.

I think the idea is, e.g. if farmed land would be a state what would be it's size?
