Just saw this too. Comments talked about Colorado City, the one founded by FDLS' Warren Jeffs -- but I found a city founded by a group that splintered off from Jeffs' group in the 1980s: Centennial City, Arizona.
The Centennial Park group was profiled on the ABC television program Primetime in a story entitled "The Outsiders", and also on The Oprah Winfrey Network's Our America with Lisa Ling.
Centennial park & Colorado City appear to basically be one in the same, or right next to each other. I was just looking at them on google maps satellite view and there appears to be a lot of graphic anomalies and weird huge circles ... can anyone confirm?

Apparently Lisa Ling did a documentary on the city for Oprah's channel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centennial_Park_group:
Here's the wiki on the City itself, citing a median age of 15!: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centennial_Park,_Arizona
Back to digging... Here's a creepy photo page from their blog: http://centennialparkaz.com/people/
O, yeah, and there's this: The initials of the city are CP.
(Edited to clarify Warren Jeffs' as founder of Colorado City -- and add note about CP)

Agreed, that is very strange. Has anyone seen anything like this elsewhere? Is it a farming technique?
