Todd,

There are a variety of possible reasons, and you haven't provided much
detail on the nature of the file you are producing.  I *suspect* it is
a multi-band (ie. RGB) file and is using the default GDAL band interleaving.
Try the following and see if it helps.


gdal_translate -srcwin 5400 5400 9000 1800 -co "INTERLEAVE=PIXEL" \
                land_shallow_topo_west.tif test.tif

Best regards,
