Obviously, the approach to LAX from the east covers 40+ miles of sprawl, but there aren't trees hiding it at ground level like is typically the case anywhere east of Oklahoma.

I guess I haven't flown in the right direction out of Atlanta. Last time I flew out of there I remember thinking how quickly everything turned rural. Looking at Google Maps, development does end pretty quickly to the west of the airport, so that must've been the direction we took off. Atlanta's sprawl to the north and south is indeed vast, though.
