It reminds me of the Blitz bomb map posted a while ago.
Well, I guess our intervention was positive then?

Looking at that map it's a wonder there are any cars left in Baghdad. I wonder what a overlay of the various air strikes (1991-?) would look like?

A curious bi-product of the second Gulf War has been the overall improvement of infrastructure mapping in Iraq. I've spoken to a guy who works out the back of a pickup truck over there, and they map safe routes for convoys, supply lines and such. At times these guys speak to locals to find out where ISIS have been operating, as ISIS don't tend to plant IEDs on these routes.
