It is missing oil and gas extraction. There are 23 million acres under lease for O&G, roughly 50% in active production. That is 1/6th the area dedicated to pasturelands, so it should definitely show up on the map.
The surface impact is very minimal, especially for horizontal wells. You still have to lease all of the area that you’re drilling under, but you would never know from the surface that it was happening. For a 1,280 acre leased drilling unit, there might only be at most 5 acres of actual equipment on the surface.

Would also be nice to see wind and solar farms
