That is wierd. Not a clue here, I thought at first a golf course but then noticed the scale. That'd be alot of walking.

salt refinery
Your marker points to San Fransisco bay, but I assume you're referring to the red colored areas. These are salt evaporation beds for a salt refinery.
From Wikipedia: Cargill Salt, previously known as Leslie Salt, operates a large salt refinery in Newark which cleans solar salt produced in beds in the San Francisco Bay. The salt crystals are first washed in brine, then dissolved and recrystallized to rid them of any last traces of dirt or sea water. This highly processed seasoning is 99.9 percent sodium chloride, as pure as natural salt can get. The salt is temporarily kept in a large pile that can reach over 60 feet high. |
