That's just dirt track on a larger dirt track which is going to connect those places anyway. So the planners were correct making it all a giant dirt track.
This is more like, which side of a pre-designated road are people using. It's more a heat map of a planned track, rather than people laying down new tracks.
Maybe if it was all grass it would better fit here. But the designers generally seem to have known "they'll walk somewhere on this giant dirt road!"...
...and they were correct.
That's grass.
There's some grass, but it looks to be mostly dirt.
It is dried/dead grass, which is yellowish. That is just what grass mostly looks like in winter.
