<!--City/Town area is total area inside city limits of any incorporated place. Area on/near roads is total area within 10m of the centerline of any road (this is an over-estimate, because it counts areas such as intersections which are near 2 roads twice. I'll try to come up with a better number). Both were computed using US Census datasets. Farm/Rural area is a rough estimate based on local knowledge and eyeballing Google's satellite imagery. Wilderness area is total area - (City/Town area + Farm/Rural area)-->
