This area is located in the state of Montana. When they were building railroads to the west the government wanted to help support them, so they gave the railroad companies multiple square sections to build in. The result is what you see here, the dark sections are forest areas that were not cut down and the white sections are the areas made for the railroads.
The effect that man can have on nature can also produce mind blowing results. Natures work is on a grand scale, and when man crafts its way through that grand area a mark is left. In this case man has left a giant checker board.
