My guess is that the structure is an artifact of the bathymetry process. The rectangular pattern could be related to the pattern traveled by the ship that took the sonar readings.
Funny you should note that. My first impression was "acquisition footprint", what geophysicists call the non-random signal overlay of the source and receiver geometry.
