I rather doubt that anything similar to an oasis is actually there......

However, are there pools of standing water? And what accounts for the "trees" in great number, being points markedly different from the surrounding background? Have any of these "trees" been identified as standing 3D objects rather than flat dots?
have to admit though .. from the sats it looks like a body of water surrounded by vegetation , is this old .. I seem to recollect similar or these pictures from a long while back

In fairness, I did do a search here and found naught in regard to trees on Mars. I have heard of some experts supposedly saying that tree or giant spider things on Mars might be a kind of geyser but that suggests that they are 3-D ( not flat) and does not explain how this dark material spews forth without changing the shade of the surrounding area.
Need photo links, for any real consideration. :D

It's image R07-01100 (http://www.msss.com/moc_gallery/r03_r09/images/R07/R0701100.html). :)
This is old news, you can see that The Living Moon (I don't know if know that site :P ) has that photo on one of its pages, here (http://www.thelivingmoon.com/43ancients/02files/Mars_Images_10.html).
And no, those are not lakes, as lakes are depressions filled partially or fully by some liquid, and those are not depressions, they are like mesas. There's another photo from that area (photo B12_014268_0997_XN_80S280W (http://viewer.mars.asu.edu/planetview/inst/ctx/B12_014268_0997_XN_80S280W#P=B12_014268_0997_XN_80S280W&T=2)), taken by the context camera aboard Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, with more or less the same resolution, that shows it better, as you can see below.

so how do you explain the macro and massive blotches that appear to cluster in groups around these "mesa's" ?

They are not mesas they are dry ice 'mesa's As the summer comes the dry ice melts exposing black sand. In fact as the dry ice melts, unlike water, it melts from the BOTTOM up... so the releasing gas makes black sand geysers
Kinda looks like THIS if you were watching it with loud whoosing sounds

Bluebird was a scientist that started posting on ATS She was about to work with us on Venus when she vanished Literally All her websites and file disappeared and she went POOF on ATS
Pity I would have loved to get her stuff on Venus At least we saved the mars Water stuff

so those tiny ones sound like a well to do lady, trying to hold a fart in an important business meeting? I think trees are more plausible .. why do they create fractal patterns from their central point .... but only sometimes?
doesn't sound like consistency to me.

interesting to note that agar jelly mesa is being almost split in two , by the encroaching streptococci forest., so densely packed near the spit,,, greedy for it, soaking it of it's nutrients , draining it of it's homogeneity .
