Tower Falls, Yellowstone NP, 20th Century
Postcard of Tower Falls photographed by Frank J. Haynes, no date. Tower Fall is a waterfall on Tower Creek in the northeastern region of Yellowstone NP. Approximately 1,000 yards upstream from the creek's confluence with the Yellowstone River, the fall plunges 132 feet. Its name comes from the rock pinnacles at the top of the fall. A well-known painting by Thomas Moran in 1871 helped persuade Congress to set aside Yellowstone as the world's first national park in 1872. Yellowstone National Park is a national park located primarily in the state of Wyoming, although it also extends into Montana and Idaho. It was established by the Congress and signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant on March 1, 1872.
