I have examined this abstraction of a map thoroughly.
I do not see any garbage dumps, recycling facilities, sewage processing, cemeteries, energy production, water production...
I could carry on, but this map means almost nothing with all sorts of factors missing.
Those take up less space than you'd think
Well, I grew up on 60 acres with like 18 horses and 25 goats. Can't say I've visited every farm out there to know how large or how cramped they might be.
