Think Globally, Destroy Locally: Environmentalism for the 21st Century - Alexis Madrigal - Technology - The Atlantic
People conceive of the American wilderness, Bill Cronon argued, as "the ultimate landscape of authenticity. Combining the sacred grandeur of the sublime with the primitive simplicity of the frontier, it is the place where we can see the world as it really is, and so know ourselves as we really are--or ought to be." But this is a problem because "the dream of an unworked natural landscape is very much the fantasy of people who have never themselves had to work the land to make a living."<br />
<br />
The only way that cities and wilderness exist as they are is because of all those other things we stick out in the Mojave. Energy, industrial, and commercial facilities are the lifestyle-support system of our country. It is in the infrastructural landscapes we've scratched into far-flung natures where we can see actual human society reflected.

The Vigorous North: A Park Gained, A Wilderness Lost
Also the older article. Excellent critique, which expresses what I had wanted to say, but more fully -- they've taken something whose beauty was in its emergent character, and made it prosthetic. The irrigated plantings being emblematic of that.
