Diamond Shaped Geoglyph

Posted by c tito young on 25 February 2021 in English. Last updated on 11 April 2021.

A manmade 50m x 50m geoglyph resembling a diamond with unequal sub- divided lines intersect and intercross a wedged shape geoglyph forming a diamond. The diamond shape is oriented north to south and placed to be highly visible by anyone approaching the canyon. Other than possible mines located up in the canyons, it is unclear what the diamond shape represents or its purpose.
In measuring the shape in terms of distances and angles, the shape is irregular and does not perfectly reflect distances or angles equally.
