Public domain (land)

From TheBestLinks.com

Public domain, a term used to describe the vast Federally owned lands in the western United States. For most of the nation's early history, the government sought to rid itself of this land, selling it cheaply, offering it under laws such as the Homestead Act, giving it to states for educational purposes under the Morrill Act or as grants to promote railroad building.
