Weird Terrain Topography

In the norther part of the Caucasus map (Southern Russia), near Min. Vody you can find a lot of weird topography on the map, which follows very steep and unnatural banks and ditches.

Here are a couple of pictures of these anomalies. They can be found all over the area. There are ones which are up to 70-80 degrees of bank.

This features on parts of the channel too and seems to be related to the roads being set to a different elevation from the underlying terrain i guess. Doesn't seem like something high up the list to fix though unfortunately... :/

If you look at the terrain map:

https://www.google.pl/maps/@44.1037703,42.1953822,13z/data=!5m1!1e4

it can easily be the source of confusion for any automapper engine.

btw: anybody has any idea what is hiding in these regular tree lines? - see attachment

And, so,  6/7 months after you post this, I’m bored at work and finally read it.

I don’t think there is anything in hiding. It’s a windbreak.
