That section of the map overlays very closely with the Navajo reservation. AFAIK that area has high levels of poverty and a lot of homes do not have electricity at all. See this article that came up on search: https://amizade.org/keeping-warm-in-the-navajo-nation/

Ok that makes a lot of sense. Though, there’s two of these areas in the desert. One maps pretty strongly to the Navajo Nation, the other seems to be in the middle of Nevada.
