Unless you're in sparser areas like Wyoming, Nevada, West Texas, etc. you're always 30 minutes or so from the nearest town no matter where you live.
If you're looking for 4-40 acres, you're not wanting land out in backcountry, you're wanting land outside a town.

I suspect it’s mainly people near the high desert in the West where you can go 90 miles between gas stations.

An overlay for Google maps showing the 30 minute boundaries would be nice.
