Thanks Paul and Dominick for your comments.

After a little research I learned that these wood-boring beetles use the "roads" they created to navigate back and forth from nesting grounds to feeding sites.
(...Kind'a like us hopping on the Interstate and heading out for a double-cheeseburger and a quickie I guess.)
