Waterfalls without a recorded type

These waterfalls have no type recorded in the source data. The survey names the fall and fixes its position, but nobody has yet noted whether it plunges, cascades or slides, and for most of them there is no height either. That does not make them minor: this group includes Sentinel Fall in Yosemite at 1,920 feet and many remote falls in the North Cascades that few people have seen up close. Each page still gives the stream, the county and state, the nearest town, the falls nearby and a map with directions. If you have visited one of these, the review form on its page is the place to say what kind of fall it is and roughly how tall; that is how entries move from this list to the typed categories.
