Looks like timber arranged for towing by a tugboat to a sawmill or paper mill. Common and cheap way to transport timber on water.

Yes you are right. This wooden rafts.
Transportation (logs, tree trunks).

Thank you Uzin, I´m reading answers right now..
edit: I don´t want to have some MODS objects, I´m going to try to find some similar default object.

but would they be floating logs downriver like that during the battle?

I was wondering about that, perhaps the map is meant to represent the pre-war look of the city.

No no, no pre-war look , I´m not going to give it to map - you can add it in missions files, can´t you?

Ah! No worries.  I do like a bit of a worn-in look on maps.

Yes indeed: those things can be left to the mission builders!

That is no timber logs --Stalingrad was main fuel depot and that is oil tanks. War time USSR so often utilize railway oil cisternas without trolleys on waterways. Try to find video abt Ladoga supply route for Leningrad/St Petersbourg and you can see that.   Why on aerial photo  that is very delicious prey for Luftwaffe pilots.

I believe Greif may be correct, it is floating barrels on wood rafts... or floating large Oil or Fuel Cisterns.

Or it can also be Pontoon bridge parts, maybe made of wood like in the above posted photo by Uzin.

It says....
As the main landing area near the center of Stalingrad came under increasing pressure an alternate landing
site on the Zaitsevski island was built. Here Russians soldiers build a pontoon bridge connecting the island with
eastern Stalingrad under German fire.
