Everything about List Of U S National Forests totally explained

This is a list of all the National Forests in the United States. If looking at national forests on a map, be aware that, in general, those west of the Great Plains show the true extent of their area, while those east of the Great Plains generally only show purchase districts, within which usually only a minority of the land has been made national forest. As of September 30, 2007 there were 192,764,673 acres (301,194.8 sq mi, or 780,090.96 km²) of land managed by the United States Forest Service, an agency of the United States Department of Agriculture. The vast majority of the acreage is designated as either National Forests (97.2%) or National Grasslands (1.99%). There a few other minor categories, mostly "purchase units" and facilties related to research efforts. There is also one designated National Preserve (Valles Caldera National Preserve in New Mexico). Everything is listed twice; first by state, then alphabetically. For a more detailed breakdown by unit name, type designation, state, county, and congressional district, please refer to the official Forest Service report in the linked reference below.
