Maybe, the terrain map shows that the wooded areas left are raised and may be man made ruin sites. The L shows as a slight depression.

I couldn't get coordinates off that map you posted, do you have them? If you can find out the village name it would be helpful.

I saw one google earth like this before that turned out to be Honduran National Guard rifle range - not that I think this is one.

George Bush's ranch.

looks like a guerrilla greenhouse for weed.

It appears to be a building. the star patterns are roofs, the lighter gray areas are gravel driveways maybe, whatever it is, it is sensitive, and its makeshift to a certain extent. I say this because you cannot zoom in anymore, and it looks like its pretty recent because if the zooming isn't there, and it hasn't been whitewashed so to speak, then its probably been put up fairly quickly. Why I say it is makeshift. maybe huge huge tents? An archeological dig? I've seen forest clearings, that is not a forest clearing. It looks like the massive tents put up in Mecca recently for the Hajj. I dunno if those are still up, if they are maybe you can cross analyze.

Ahhh. Its probably one of those dand nabbit top-secreat government buildings where the aliens shoot pool with jeasus. Nuna our bisniuess!

Edited due to typing gremlins.

Suffice it to say, great find. I was going in the building direction as well, however, it just to big an area. So in all honesty, I'm not sure what to make of it.

I think I may have figured it out. If you zoom in on the "L" area to the highest magnification possible, you will see "2006 Google" in the white areas. If you then move over slightly to the right, in the green areas, you will see "2005 Google" on those areas. I believe that the different cloud, weather conditions led to the patchwork that you see, This is similar to the "Center of Greenland anomaly" posted several months ago on ATS.

This is near Peten and the extensive ruins that surround it. Off hand I'd say it a cleared area in support of that function.

It also appears to be in the or near the Maya Biosphere Reserve

Just a side note here. The coordinates for Google Earth Maps is incoded in the URL. Go place the cuser over the link and right click. Then click on properties. Just in case any one is interested in such things.

Looks like a mosiac of pictures taken at different dates, I see a lot of those when I'm pulling up people's addresses.
I've seen some pretty weird addresses on GE, one was at a certain level you'd get a highly zoomed square that would appear at a certain level, disappear at any other zoom level.
If it's been checked on ther map services does it appear?
I know they are generally blocking several army bases from GE and other map sites, maybe this is related?
