state-owned lands

Public domain acreage

State-owned lands are territories held by a government rather than private individuals or corporations.

These include national parks, forests, wildlife refuges, and other public lands managed for conservation, recreation, or resource extraction.

In the American West, state-owned lands and federal lands together constitute vast portions of total acreage: The rancher leased state-owned lands for grazing.
