Amazon Earth Movers

Researching the Amazon Geoglyphs led to similar geometric works further south, in Bolivia, where a variety of anthropogenic modifications of landscape are plainly visible in Google Earth where hi-res updates are available.  One region without geometric works, Llanos de Mojos, nonetheless has a massive amount of earth moving in the form of causeways and canals as well as earthen mounds.  It is also quite a massive chore to research and document.  I'm still not done doing that, but here is one multigeometry placemark showing major causeways/canals in the southeast portion of the flood plains.  I used a black background overlay image to capture this graphic:



Just a sneak preview, one placemark in a massive file to be published when finished.  To do a bit of academic reading, here is a starting point:
