Footnotes

<1>Keep in mind that you might find some variations to Falls City:

It's frequently the practice of mapmakers to remove the apostrophe from possessive names. So Falls City may originally have been Fall's City. Sometimes the trailing 's' might be dropped altogether. In that case, you may find that a reference to Fall City is actually referring to Falls City.
