A suggestion is that this represents portable vehicular pads. During the Vietnam war steel mesh squares which could be snapped together were used to make portable helicopter pads and roads through areas which could not otherwise be landed on or driven across.
When I was running the field portion of the Tombigbee waterway Historic Townsites Project in 1980, I got permission to purchase enough of this to build a road over very muddy soils. We ended up using gravel, but if that had not worked, purchase of a portable road from a surplus guy in Oklahoma was our next move.
