What's this?

While searching for a friends home town I came across this strange area in Eastern California. Anyone have any idea what on earth it is?

[Ajames]

good find ;)
I don't haev a clue what it is: It looks like some form of giant honeycomb... But it could well be a farm with a giant crop in it: Possibly cotton as a lake is nearby.

Could it be some sort of solar farm? I dont see a collecting tower but they could all be solar panels.

Looks like a farm for apples, cherries or oranges maybe!

[dekpurn]

It must be a crop of some sort but the total lack of green has me beat. There are plenty more areas just like it to the South.

[dekpurn]

Here's two possibilities. There are a lot of nuts grown in that region of California so could they be nut trees. Another thought was that they may be vineyards. What do you think?

[eisbein]

Dafenitely no vineyards as they would have very straight lines in a geometric pattern.defenitely some sort of bushes. I tip of some kind of fruit trees!

It must be some kind of orchard. I prefer walnuts, almonds and prunes.

Here you can see a photo from a house in the Woodward Lake Dr, south of the placemark. In the rear you can see the the kind of orchard in this area.
