History of Bombardment Creek

Named in 1939 by Marshall (1956, p. 148) who wrote, "Marvelous waterfalls were plunging down on every side. I was continuously in their spray, so narrow was the chasm* * *. In this mile and a half I counted thirteen falls with an estimated drop of 200 feet or more* * *.
