The ‘drowned’ river in the de-noised, despeckled perspective http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA19051 with topography from PIA10353 http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/?IDNumber=pia10353 overlain is shown below. Titan’s rivers are said to show little in the way of erosive action http://newsoffice.mit.edu/2012/river-networks-on-titan-0720 but I wonder if the area circled might be a substantial valley cut into the icy uplands. A rough estimate based on the elevation scale shows a 400m difference between the river bed and adjacent upland over a relatively short distance of 5-10 km.
