What's causing those equal-sized white squares especially around Kansas/southern Nebraska? Are they square plots of land that have roads around their perimeters but no roads inside?

The white blocks seem to be rural routes and unnamed roads, their alignment to lat/lon boundaries suggests differences in how adjacent counties identify streets.
