Rivers are not realistic on this map, of course (as everywhere else in IL2). But dry riverbeds were typical for Crimean peninsula in real life. Especially before creation of new canals network in 1960-1970s. Some rivers could just stop running in dry season and turn into isolated narrow lakes, temporary.

There are more serious errors on this map, actually. Copied from the earlier map of Crimea in the first versions of the game. Absence of Balaklava Bay, wrong terrain in the area of Sevastopol, non-historical breakwaters of Sevastopol Bay, etc...
