Edit as flightaware trace from previous week:
Unfortunately developers like to surround airports with housing, malls and industry, precluding landing options when you can't quite make it all the way back to the airport.
In this case the pilot turned back over open country (likely swampland) where a survivable landing was more likely than over built up areas if/when the unhappy engine totally quit.
It's an unhappy choice between rural roads and swampland, but he did have enough time to pick out the best looking spot.
