According to Roosevelt, there is the presence of barrenness for most of the ranches of the West (Montoya et al., 2017). There is also the presence of farm-lands in the West mostly because of agriculture being the most common profession there (Montoya et al., 2017). The lack of fences in Upper Missouri has also been made evident by Roosevelt (Montoya et al., 2017).
