Almost looks to me to be a newly developed residential district.

It's totally stupid to have pictures of dessert, etc when they could cover more interesting places in the world. I agree with Cookie Monster.

This is normal res, and although I haven't checked, I think it's safe to say that those large areas have the same resolution. West of the town: more duct tape! Zoom out so you can see the town and the crater and you'll see it. Er, this is high res?

The hexagons and circles dwarf the airstrip in the middle of it too. (response to Mash)
