I bet with more data they would be underwhelmed. Compare the Federal Lands map[0] with a land-cover map[1].
See how much of that BLM managed property is semi-desert? And how much is actually Forest Service land? The first map also includes state lands, which is more apparent in the East, and Alaska. I for one am proud of our reserving of lands for the greater public. It's all of our lands, not just a few greedy landowners.
