Bluff sits at the base of striking sandstone formations along the northern banks of the San Juan River, where the landscape is defined by its deep canyons and prominent mesas. The settlement layout is marked by thoroughfares such as Mulberry Ave and Black Locust Ave, reflecting a planned community grounded in the desert river valley. This 2017 survey documents the relationship between the town and its geological landmarks, including the Navajo Twins and Sunbonnet Rock to the north, and the expansive Tank Mesa rising to the west.
