For what it's worth, a recent presentation by the Cassini RADAR Team (Rosaly Lopes et al.), entitled "The Surface of Titan as seen by the Cassini Radar Mapper," is now publicly available (~10.55 Mb PDF).

Another one section of RADAR swath from the presentation. This is a boundary between Belet and Adiri, around 230 degree WL. Looks like liquid lakes among the dune sea.
The grey homogeneous surface between the dark patches may be a shoal. The question is how transparent the liquid is for Cassini radar. The lack of dunes indicate that this surface is protected from winds (or has another makeup?)
There are also some river-like features on the light "shore".
