SatAM17,
probably in the past, the Gulf was not so deep as nowadays - the streams and sediments could had covered other arrows that pointed navigators to north. Seems to be a kind of direction to follow, a way to avoid wrong path.
How was it made? Who did it? This forum will call others attention.
Good eye! Congratulations.

SatAM17,
the lines might be the reef natural formation.

Take a look to the west-southwest and you'll find more that are not aligned with true north.

I think they are some sort of tidal traps as someone stated earlier.

They are fishing nets anchored to the sand in shallow water. The arrow shape funnels the fish into the end where they get caught up in the nets by their fins and gills. Once a day the fishermen (if they can be called that) come along and harvest the fish.

Rectilinear features near the border of Syria and Iraq. Anyone have a clue what these features could be?

Makes sense, thanks for your reply. I'm assuming these are modern...?

Linear feature close to the shoreline with waves diverting around this underwater line.

All the survey maps indicate this line is not a modern construction.

See original GE images here
The original GE images have been almost obliterated by new, repetitive image data to the left of the line. Fortunately the images were saved before the line was obscured with the new data that seems to be inaccurate and repetitive along the whole strip. Wish someone would clean that up...

A series of unusual features can be seen in this placemark tour off the Florida keys near the city of Marathon and Knights Key Channel.

The features consist of underwater linear features, unusual patterns, and circular features that are very unusual and anomalous.


Does anyone have a clue what has caused these features?
