Nevada – 81% Alaska – 62% Utah – 67% Oregon – 53% Idaho – 62% Arizona – 42% California – 48% Wyoming – 48% New Mexico – 35% Colorado – 36% tpnn/2014/04/21/western-states-begin-to-push-back/ The Constitution provides for limited federal lands within each state, originally assumed to be about 1 to 2%, to be purchased for post roads, forts, arsenals, etc. How is it, then, that the federal government owns 62% of Alaska and 47% of 11 border-sharing Western states, including Utah?
