What is the difference between discovered and first-time documented?
One could make the case that there is no difference. In this society we often credit someone with discovery when obviously a particular locale was seen previously. (Columbus discovering America might be one example). For our purposes, we like to think of ourselves as discoverers of those falls for which not one word has ever appeared in anything, anywhere and the fall is remote enough that is unlikely to have been seen. (Rocky Top Falls, Serendipity Falls, and some of the falls in Valhalla, are some examples.) The vast majority of the falls we are presenting are first-time documented features. They would be in the category of those features that must have been visited by someone, but as yet no record exists of any their specific visits.
