The user in this comment had some interesting points about the Tennessee waterfall.

Generally it seems that there is a significant amount of nuance (and incorrect info) regarding waterfalls on the eastern half of the United States, haha.

I can’t quite figure out the definition of a sheer-drop waterfall vs a plunge. But this is obviously an important distinction. Here’s a taller waterfall east of the Mississippi but another variety or something.

Fall Creek Falls is a 256-foot (78 m)[1] tall sheer-drop waterfall located in Fall Creek Falls State Park near Spencer, Tennessee. It is the tallest waterfall of such kind east of the Mississippi River (within the United States).
