    Using Wyoming as an example, all of the red spots are cities, everything else is miles upon miles of mostly empty BLM land. That one spot that’s super red? Laramie, the town with the only 4 year university in the state, with a direct path to Fort Collins just south of that, another massive college city. You can also see the Grand Valley lit up because of all of the Mormons stopping in Delta or Grand Junction to buy booze to bring home (dry counties abound in Utah and Idaho)
