Questions

Who owns the most land in the United States?

Across the country the federal government holds the most land, most of it in the West. Among the names on county property records, state governments and timber companies lead in most states; the table above names the leader of each.

Which single holding on this list is the largest?

STATE OF MONTANA in Montana, with 4,255,985 acres on county records.

Why are no individuals ranked?

A public ranking of private people by the land they own would be a list of where they live, so Deedlines ranks only companies, trusts held by companies and government agencies.
