Abstract
Over the last century and a half public land use and resource laws and policies have had impacts, ranging from subtle to stark, in shaping and affecting North American non-urban landscapes. The article provides a framework to appreciate legal aspects of these impacts. The article demonstrates micro and macro, intended and non-intended effects of public land use and resource laws, focusing on laws relating to the North American survey system and public rangeland laws and policies. It suggests ways to use the framework it introduces to recognize and evaluate laws and policies' landscape effects.
