I second that.
But what exactly are you showing? All I see in some buildings, what looks like a dirt runway, and a giant jewish star.

| | | | The symbols. Quite odd to find in a deserted military installation. The northern ranges were used for ammunition testing, and there are numerous depleted uranium deposits laying about.

standard layout for a SAM battery, specifically the former Soviet SA-2 missile.
most likely used for aerial bombardment training.

| | | | Thanks for the clarification -- it would certainly make sense for this base. Any idea on the other symbols?

| | | | I wouldn't say they are symbols.
If you zoom in, this looks like artillery cannons in some kind of formation (complete with berms).
The circle is perhaps a helipad or sorts? Or Thunderdome?
One is clearly an airstrip, of course.

| | | | Definitely antiaircraft (guns or missiles). It does remind me of areal photos of the nuclear capable missile sites the Russians set up in Cuba.

| | | | It's a marker.
Either for warning or a easy spotter point for a forward observer.
Ordinance may have been detonated or burned there.

That would be a more accurate version of which lines actually appear in the map - still rather odd, but you're missing at least one arm of the pentagon, half an arm of the star and have an extra mini-arm on the pentagon.

| | | | Can't believe I missed this thread.
Seicer, I am going to say this is a target range. We have something very similar at Holloman AFB near me. They will set up a number of things on the ground, missile batteries, tanks, convoys, simulated airstrips and the like, to give aircraft and ground units something approximating a live target to shoot at. The large round circle appears to be a bombing target, as I see large numbers of divots in the ground near the center. The American West is covered with hundreds of these, some dating back to WWII. They will periodically change the location of the things on the ground to simulate a different target. Occasionally you will see some of the targets camo covered, with visual or IR camo, to give recon aircraft and satellites something to practice with as well.
I'll see if I can't dig up a pic of the range here for comparison.
I have changed my personal exploring ethics code. From now on it will be: "Take only aimed shots, leave only hobo corpses." Copper scrappers, meth heads and homeless beware. The Jonsered cometh among you, bringing fear and dread.
