Today’s graphic (courtesy of Reddit) is a road map of Canada, posted by “Rosemarry_40”. Note the vast wilderness areas that are entirely roadless.

Note the low population density in the American Redoubt. There is only one county in the entire American Redoubt region that is shaded dark green. That is Ada County, Idaho, with 519,000 people.
