Tioga Falls is a 130-foot waterfall located near the outskirts of West Point, Kentucky. The falls are fed from the nearby Tioga Creek, a tributary to the Ohio River.

Why this record matters
The phrase “waterfall in Kentucky, US” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q117100647. Authority coordinates are 37.961, -85.974. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
