Chub Lake
Chub Pond is a remote Adirondack Lake, located roughly 3 miles from Mill Creek Road, following an old woods road sometimes traveled by ATVs. The trail runs through several marshes and is relatively flat with several rather muddy sections. Chub Pond Lean-To #1 is one of most unique lean-tos in the Adirondacks, built and maintained by the Plumley Family in 1963 which uses it for hunting during the fall. http://www.protectadks.org/2014/09/a-forest-preserve-lean-to-on-chub-pond-in-the-black-river-wild-forest-area-has-been-extensively-modified-and-turned-into-a-private-camp/
Oleshky Sands National Nature Park
Oleshky Sands National Nature Park is a national park of Ukraine, located south of the lower Dnieper River about 25 km east of the regional city of Kherson, and 70 km northwest of the Crimean Peninsula. The park features expanses of low-fertility soil and sand, and a variety of unusual microhabitats. The landscape is quite varied, with sandy-steppe, semi-arid steppe, meadows, reed beds, and forest stands. The dunes of the Radensk sector are interspersed with patches of shrubs, lakes and birch groves (12% of the area).

While you can pretty easily see this on satelight images, this map shows the 3.1 million acres of New York State that is developed -- which works out to be 8.9 percent of state's landmass.
