This is an interesting comparison. It's very hard to actually tell the differences between the screenshots, and maybe with the game actually running, it would be even more difficult to spot the differences. (Or maybe easier, even. I'll have to give this a try for myself.)

As I understand the land detail setting, lower detail means less detail concerning the actual physical terrain, such as less detail around the shoreline, terrain being more flat and things like that.
I do speak under correction, but that is my understanding of it.
In the screenshots you posted, I honestly couldn't say which is which without looking at the captions.
I''ll have to try this out for myself tomorrow. (I've always just run it at medium settings and never bothered with anything else.)
