Ok, folks... anyone got any info? The last image almost appears to be like a watermark, not part of the actual landscape, or roads, etc. - ed

The Google Sat JPEG o Area 51 is PROBABLY A BOMBING/Gunnery target.

Before nuclear weapons were tested in America on a Canadian test range 1million tons of TNT were buried and detonated..in order to facilitate navigation and quantify the blast effects..a series of circles and circular roads were carved around the blast epicenter out to a radius of 10 miles. When navigating on the range it was common to use the terms 5 mile circle or 1 mile circle to give directions to or from the weapons range area.
