	Ohio Lands
		The Ohio Lands were the myriad grants, tracts, districts and cessions which make up what is now the U.S. state of Ohio.
		The Ohio Country was one of the first settled parts of the Midwest, and indeed one of the first settled parts of the United States beyond the original 13 colonies.
		The land that became first the anchor of the Northwest Territory and later Ohio was cobbled together from a variety of sources and owners.

	Intro to OH Land History
		Ohio's land history is an unusual patchwork, deriving from its location to the immediate west of the safely settled (and newly free) states.
		Virginia was the original 'owner' of the Ohio lands (as well as those of other states in the midwest).
		Attempts to survey a range of townships west of the Ohio was cut short because of the threat of Indian attacks.

	Land Grants and Sales
		Ohio lands were surveyed and sold by the federal government, private individuals, and by two other states, Virginia and Connecticut.
		These lands were passed out using the older survey procedures of Virginia, and they were not always fair to every veteran.
		Except for lands under the control of the states of Virginia and Connecticut, Congress controlled all of the Ohio lands.

	[No title]
		The land cannot be settled any faster; any measure to lower its price would only put the land into hands of speculators.
		But that would violate trusts under which the lands were acquired: (i) from the original cessions made under pre-Constitutional congress., (ii) from the 1802 compact with Georgia, (iii) from the 1803 Louisiana Purchase, and (iv) from the 1819 purchase of Florida.
		These lands were, when received by the government, declared to be "for the common benefit of all states", but that does not imply they must be treated "merely as so much treasure".

	Ohio Prairies FAQ Page 2
		Because Ohio lands were to be purchased primarily by new settlers from the East who were looking for cheap but productive farmland, the early surveyors kept accurate records of the trees and plants they encountered in their surveys.
		Consequently, one of Ohio’s finest, intact prairie remnants is the 40-60 acre Castalia Prairie on Northwest Road at the Resthaven Wildlife Area near the village of Castalia.
		Ohio is the eastern edge of the large landscape prairies of the Midwest, but small prairie areas were found far to the east.

	Conservation strategies for private lands in Ohio (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The Ohio Division of Forestry reports that about 30% of Ohio is forested, up from 12% in 1940; however, this includes city parks, strips of woods along highways, and other disconnected stands that may not have a high degree of ecological integrity.
