Looks like the prototype for a frozen dinner tray to me, thirty years before they were invented!
Mmmm, Salisbury steak & cranberry compote. (Remove the foil from the dessert portion before baking)
There's something fascinating (to me) about old aerials of courses that have obsolete man-made features.
Here, it's the scale - everything is small, sharp-angled, and low.
I suspect that from the ground, it'd all look quaint, crude, and contrived. And drainage...?
But from the air, the image somehow gives a clearer path for the imagination to sketch man, beast and the implements of the time into the mental picture. And that's cool.
The much-discussed and now re-made Garden City par 3 is another example. Hope to see side-by-side aerials of the old and new-old versions of that.
