kjfitz's picture Zoom in and you'll see that they are trees.

jbottero's picture No kidding! That's odd. Wonder why they grow that way. Water canals? I don't see roads...

Pdunn's picture That is amazing to me. The gaps from a distance looked so much like the markings of a Sharpee Marker, and the fact each line is so perfectly straight and spaced, I assumed we were seeing left over by a careless cartographer. So I labled it a "satelite error." I had no idea they were trees. I guess the lesson is to always check each map at every zoom level.

Anonymous's picture Yes, zoom in and you will see trees. However, trees require water to grow and there is a possibility that they are growing above silted-up canals originating from the Terek.
