Waterfall Information

The "information window" for each waterfall has the following information:

(1) the official name of the waterfall, or common or unofficial name if not official yet,
(2) the creek or river basin of the waterfall,
(3) latitude and longitude, in decimal degrees,
(4) the USGS 1:24,000 (7 1/2 minute) topographic map, and
(5) notes about the access from either a highway or trail.

This should provide sufficient information to locate the waterfall and with the other Websites, linked in the list, and books should provide enough informaton to determine if you want to find it.
