Oxymoron may fit

An oxymoron is a figure of speech that juxtaposes elements that appear to be contradictory, but which contain a concealed point.

But be aware that with names of geographical features there may be a reference to a seasonal feature which makes a term appear oxymoronic. Dry Falls could well be a feature on a temporary or intermittent river.
