Default Chart question

Did my BFR yesterday and while going over the local sectional, I noticed
something and asked the instructor about it.

It was a dashed blank line, labelled 'underground pipeline'.

Now I have to ask - why if it is underground, is it on the chart ? What
is the possible value of it being there ?


Only thing I can think of, they don't want you to crash on it! g

Real answer is, they keep the right of way cleared every few years, so it
will show up as a relatively straight line of cleared trees, with no power
line on it.
