1997 Photograph on envelope: Oblique aerial view of the Falls area on the lower in Whitman and l=ranklin Counties. View is toward the southeast, and, at river distance, the view is about one mile wide. Palouse Falls (185 ft high) is in the lower center of the photograph, the dark linear feature in the foreground is a railroad cut, and the grove of trees is the parking area for . Several basalt flows covered this area about 15 million years ago. In the Palouse River canyon the lowest flows are two flows of the Sentinel Bluffs unit in the upper part of the Grande Ronde Basalt; the lip of the falls is in the Palouse Falls flow, and the flow under the parking lot is the Ginkgo flow, both part of the Frenchman Springs Member of the Wanapum Basalt. Upland areas farther from the river expose the Roza and Priest Rapids Members of the Wanapum (Carson and Pogue, 1996, p. 19). After basalt eruptions ceased streams began to establish valleys on the basalt surface, and windblown began to accumulate, in some places to depths of more than 200 feet. The paleo-Palouse River flowed westward down what is now Washtucna Coulee. Several times between about 19,000 and 11,000 years ago glacial outburst flood waters from glacial flowed down the Cheney-Palouse scabland tract, entered the area of the photograph by way of Washtucna Coulee, and overtopped the drainage divide between the paleo-Palouse River and the . The floods stripped away the covering of loess, selectively eroded fractured areas of the basalt to form canyons, and changed the course of the Palouse River so that the post-flood river joins the Snake River to the south instead of continuing down Washtucna Coulee. At the latitude of Palouse Falls the area stripped by the floods is more than seven miles wide. The fracture systems that control this part of the course of the Palouse River trend N. 50° E., N. 20° W., and N. 55° W. (Carson and Pogue, 1996, p. 19). The short canyons trending away from the viewer are developed along the N. 55° W. fracture system, and the stretch of canyon just above the falls is on a N. 20° W. fracture. Since the end of the glacial floods talus slopes have softened the profiles of the cliffs, winds have deposited a thin veneer of loess, and soil-forming processes have allowed grasses and sagebrush to take root, but the landscape, in essence, dates from the ice age.
