Old Souvenir Plates

I am a mosaic artist, I am getting ready to start a large project that will consist of vintage souvenir state plates. I have lots to work with, mostly intact. But one box is broken into pieces (which is what I will eventually do to all the plates.) I need to identify which state the broken pieces go with. Can anybody help me match these obscure places to the following states:
Montana, Pennsylvania, Alabama, Georgia, Maine, South Dakota, Kentucky, VA

OK, here are the "famous" places I cant identify with an above-listed state (and I was a Geography major in college!):

Commodore Perry Flagship
New River
---calola Falls (some letters are missing)
Battle of Point Pleasant
Wayne Blockhouse
TVA Lake (but it's not Tennessee)
Screw Auguer Falls
Audobon Memorial Museum
The Big Stack
St Mary Lake
Ave Maria Grotto
Natural Bridge
Casco Castle
Little Grand Canyons-Lumpkin
Hungry Horse Dam
Old Church Midway
Drake Well Memorial

Thanks for any help!

Hungry Horse Dam is Montana.

Battle of Point Pleasant is West Virginia.

Ave Maria Grotto is Cullman, Alabama.

Natural Bridge could be either Kentucky or Virginia.

Casco Castle is Freeort, Maine.

Little Grand Canyon is Georgia.

Old Church Midway is Midway, Georgia.

Drake Well Memorial is in Titusville, PA.

My best guess is that The Big Stack is from the International House of Pancakes.

I just typed the name into ebay's search function and there were often plates or postcards.

THANKS SOOOO MUCH FOR YOUR EXPERT HELP! I got the all plates pieced together! It was like doing 8 puzzles at the same time with the pieces all mixed up and no pictures to work from!
