We visited McMillan about 5 years ago. It's a nice 20 foot high really wide falls. Maybe 50 feet wide. The width of the creek. It's on private property and the owners of the house at the creek entrance were very gracious and welcoming when I asked if we could walk the creek.

Silver Lake Outlet has a nice series of falls on it. A good side trip when visiting Letchworth.

Henrie is most likely some other gully, not School 7. In their description it says they went looking for School 7 gully and ended up at that gully instead.

Only she knows I guess...since those names arent documented anywhere. I would say that Henrie or School 7 (depending on your thinking)is the gully just north of there. The upper portion of the gully is near where Kaltenback Road dead ends.

Ok nevermind my previous ramblings. Acme Mapper does mark the gully near Caward Crossing as
"School 7".

Clifton Falls is posted heavily from Fry Road. The falls is just beneath the road and you can see the crest from the car. There is also a park just downstream that might offer access. Enechelon Glen in the "shh" category is in Ithaca. I wont say the name out of respect to Ruth but its pretty easy to figure out and one that's been discussed before.

I'm fairly certain I know what it is too.

I was there in June 2010 and took some pictures of the top Falls and the second Falls on your map. Mark Johnson was there a day earlier with his family. He sent me a picture of your Bing map falls, which I added to my picture collection too. Decker creek falls and Dresser creek falls are downstream from looking at maps that I've looked at. The two upper falls are private property. The building off to side is the remains of the original power station foundation. Mark creek walked up from St. Patrick's cemetery. He told me you better be in great shape because its a very steep hike up stream. The falls in your map are about 75 to 100 feet tall. If you want to look at pictures of these falls? Here's my link to ones I took:
