I wish they'd list the coordinates. I think I found some formations, searching for the "swastika" near Urpek village. In the upper left corner there is a bunch of green dots similar in size to the ones in the square, etc. They look like gardens. https://www.google.com/maps/@50.0857785,65.2126098,636m/data=!3m1!1e3 https://www.google.com/maps/@50.0857785,65.2126098,636m/data...

(edit window passed) These seem unusual because of the assumption that these were exclusively nomad lands. Take that away and agriculture/irrigation/livestock of some kind seems a lot more likely and a lot less mysterious. There is no information about contemporary techniques in the area either. While I'm curious about these, there are some clear red flags of cultural superimposition in the original research.
