Google sat image of roads near North wash

What are these weird road grading formations found near North Wash? Why were they formed? Purpose? Anyone know?64155

my first guess would be oil or mineral exploration related.

I agree. Look like seismic survey roads. I don't know when they are from, and would be curious, if anyone knows when this area was mapped.

If you know where to look, there are a lot more of them than you would think. Different shapes too. I read something about them a few years ago. They weren't discovered until after google earth came around. They are thought to be similar to the aztec lines. Made by the natives for some reason. One possibility was an irrigation system for crops. Some of them are spiral shapes or squares that are all linked by straight lines. Weird stuff. I will try to find the link and locations of the other lines.

This is the one I found a while back when I was trying to figure it out.

A while back I also noticed some of the those 6 line markings when I was checking out the Hogs with google earth. I just chalked it up to maybe some kind of oil or gas exploration road building. But it appears to be more interesting than that after checking this site out

Here is the area that is just west of the Hogs

...similar to the famous landscape lines in Nazca, Peru except these lines exist on the American landscape...

So is Peru not in the Americas? Perhaps it's in Africa, or Europe. :roll:
