Maybe what the author is attempting to do is liken what he sees on Google Earth to the raised field agriculture seen throughout various regions of Peru and Bolivia:

However, it seems most unlikely, the distance between the 'channels' is far too wide at almost a mile, to practise any form of agriculture we can image. Furthermore, the raised fields of which I have various images collected, all have cross-channels, without which there would be no entry or exit possible, to the watercraft presumed to have been used used for transportation.

Since nearly all the lines are oriented to the Okavango, then they would not need cross channels. I would be interested to know to what extent all this is flooded in the rainy season. Anyone have a Google Earth or similar site that would cover that season?
