Bluff sits at the base of dramatic sandstone formations where the San Juan River curves through the San Juan Valley. This 2014 survey captures the town's grid, including streets like E Main St and E Mulberry Ave, tucked against the base of Bluff Bench. Local landmarks such as the Navajo Twins and Sunbonnet Rock overlook the settlement, while the Bluff Cem provides a point of interest for genealogists researching early area families. North of the river, the landscape is defined by massive landforms like Tank Mesa and Casa del Eco Mesa, intersected by drainages including Cottonwood Creek and Spring Canyon. To the south, the settlement of Tselakai Dezza appears along Us-191, illustrating the modern transportation corridors that follow ancient river routes through this high desert environment.
