Apparently not enough.

So, why is that Fed land Fed land?

What is the point of that?

[Scoutmaster]

There is no point to it.

The land is federal land because of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, signed in 1848. West of the Rockies, the federal government retained ownership of much, if not most, of the land.

The federal government owns 84.5% of the land in Nevada. It just does, without a specific reason or point.

Perhaps you should start a thread to discuss the macro question of whether the federal government should own a massive amount of undeveloped land.
