An excellent question with a factual inventory. the inventory iOS fundamental direct ownership of Public Land. Land nominally free of buildings or development. Not land like under City Hall.
The inventory starts with the clearly obvious land ownership and works its way down the list to the not so obvious but legally and defensibly true definitive Federal Government "Public Land".
The links a Tree Hugger site.
Beyond the categorical inventory of (Federal) Public Land is more of the "Land" that is described in the lyrics of the song.
State Land
County Land
City Land
Those are all different level of governance that technically "own" Public Land. Land officially under their ownership on official "Tax Lot" records of the County Assessor.
This is important and I believe it to be an absolutely true statement:
All land in the USA is associated to official documented and geographically indexed beneficial ownership of the land. That documentation exists in the collective county assessor property tax records.
A test of truth and validity of that statement is to ask:
Is there a square inch of land in the USA that is not associated with an" owner" in the USA?
....Don't know about that but it is an intriguing thought!
Take for example Deschutes County Oregon.
The County Assessor provides a map of the county at this link:

All land in the county, every square inch is indexed in this manner:

The Deschutes County DIAL is explained at this training link that I discovered with exceptionally great joy today:
