I think there was supposed to be a cliff there but the river wanted to go straight and have a waterfall later.

Science is always important. But it needs more flaming cats. Can't we build bridge-based catapults and fling flaming cats at the dust and goo?

It's time for the ATHATH Death Counter to increase once more in celebration for the end of the world.

"Hey River, you need to have a waterfall here bro."

"Nah man, later."

This is one of the weird things that happens in-game - I've seen screenshots of similar things from 40d.

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

The game handle cliff strangely, when they are (supposed to be) the result of other natural formation.

I more than once got a volcano resulting in a perfectly straigth and perfectly square 5-20 zlvl high chimney or pyramid.

That may be something Toady should look into...
