    It’s annoying me that I know nothing of the story behind this. Perhaps it meets some every-other-tree rule in a way that is easily verifiable with one flyover, or even Google Maps.

      Every other square mile is cleared for logging as some sort of forestry preservation/logging compromise. The spaces logged are clear cut.
