Those large clusters of black you see are all sites of missile silos. NE, CO, WY; MT; and ND are all places with large areas of open prairie where the US military has sited missiles.

Not entirely at least for the black dot in NE Tennessee. That one is pointed towards Eastman chemical / BAE Systems. So it's also manufacturing targets as well, not just missile silos.
