natural landscape
Wilderness vista, unbuilt
A natural landscape is terrain shaped primarily by natural processes rather than human activity—forests, mountains, deserts, coastlines.
The term distinguishes such areas from built environments and agricultural land: The national park preserves one of the last natural landscapes in the region.
In practice, few landscapes remain entirely untouched by human influence, so the term often indicates relatively undeveloped land.
