Here we have a puzzle, because the place labelled as "Bluffs" on the topos is unquestionably a subdivision built in the late 1950s. As such, it has no claim to notability. "The Bluffs" is, on the topos, a physical feature just north of the subdivision, with no structures to speak of on it until it becomes the site of some sort of construction materials business. The answer to the puzzle, however, is found on p. 185 of the cited county history, because after talking about this early settlement, it finishes by saying "The town began to die about 1840. Nothing is left of it now." That was in 1884, so it's apparent that there's no connection with the later subdivision other vague proximity. Mangoe ( talk) 02:57, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
