2020 Map of Bluff

About this map

Bluff sits at the heart of this rural landscape, positioned along the border where Lamar and Fayette counties meet. The region is characterized by a dense network of small watercourses, including Hells Creek, Rocky Ford Creek, and Blowhorn Creek, which have shaped the local topography and placement of roads. The sheer number of small family and community burial grounds, such as Sizemore Cemetery, Antioch Cemetery, and Blooming Grove Cemetery, suggests a deeply rooted residential history spread across the uplands. This area maintained a quiet, agrarian character well into the 21st century, with long-established transport routes like Seed Tick Road and Brown Mill Creek Road connecting isolated farmsteads. Distinctive landmarks like Byars Xing and various bottomlands along Crane Neck Creek highlight the specific local geography used by generations of residents.
