Military installations and mining ops maybe? Both enjoy lighting shit up like the 4th of July. Thinking Is there really nothing there? I mean, even sparse somethings might put off serious umbra if the lights are just freestanding, not angled or covered.

ah, zen beat me to it, missed that post-
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I read an article a while back that said if the current rate of growth was sustained the I-85 corridor from Atlanta through Charlotte and Greensboro over to Raleigh would become one large metro area by the start of the 21st century. From the looks of the pic it is well on its way.

It also kind of reminds me of the filaments that connect galaxies.

Or more likely, that the majority of the USA is flat as a fucking pancake.

And most of our towns are planned, rather than happening naturally over long periods of time.
