I have to tell you, there's plenty of farmed land on the entire west coast this map does not depict. Less than half of the areas labeled timberlands are forested, as a generous estimate.

Edit: as the comments under this state, I just didn't understand what was being represented and how.

I don't thing it's location specific. It's more like a pie chart where it's grouping the similar land typess together and then arbitrarily placing them on the US map.
