CHAPTER 13 - The Empty Interior

The Empty Interior is defined as places having sparse populations in large areas.As you can see from the map, Nevada falls in the area known as the empty interior. Nevada's land area is 110,000+ square miles, however the population is far from taking advantage of this land mass. That's why irrigated agriculture and ranching are important in Nevada. In the book, it explains that the empty interior is an area where lumber, tourism, and mining dominate.

There are hundreds of species of birds, bears, fish, lions, deer, elk, coyotes, rabbits, squirrels, bighorn sheep, cows, toads, lizards, snakes, and many more!
