It's an example of creativity, as opposed to facts, so that it can be copyright.
Review of some commercial satellite imagery shows a salt pan.

It is a festival area. Some kind of music festival if I remember right. But I don't know how it is called.

It's Black Rock City, NV. The birthplace of the online virtual world Second Life and about as close to SL as you're going to get in real life.

Why doesn't this match the aerial? Do they move it slightly every year?
