Or, maybe not.
According to the boundary treaty, the border in the Rhine is formed
by the centre line between the high water dikes between CHLI2GRSGBA
and the point where the Liechtensteinische Binnenkanal enters the
Rhine, but between that point and ATCHLIn it is formed by the middle
of the "sogenanntes Mittelgerinne". That looks like another way of
saying "Thalweg". Thalwegs normally aren't dry.

So the Liechtenstein map site might be a bit inaccurate here.
