America 21: Wilderness

No matter how many times you remind yourself, the scale of America is a constant surprise. The number and size of the cities, the enormous road network interconnecting them, and a population so large and diverse it may as well be fifty different countries. But before America-the-society was America-the-land. No matter how many people there are, no matter how populous, you can still find parts of this country where nobody lives, empty stretches of wilderness away from civilisation. These places give a tiny glimpse of how this land must have looked long before it was tamed, how mighty and how dangerous.
