Approximately eighteen miles north of Vernon, Wilbarger County, Texas, is Cedar Bluff. It is not as imposing as the word “bluff” may imply, but, in comparison with the low hills and level farm lands of this area, it deserves the name. It is a terrace, about two miles in length, which forms the west bank of Red River at a bend in that stream. The approach to Cedar Bluff is of sandy soil which is of good quality for farming and is mostly under cultivation. Crops are grown in most places to the very edge of the bluff. The face of the cliff shows some water erosion. The general formation consists of an upper layer of sand on gravel; underneath this are horizontal layers of limestone bedded in shale which are underlain in turn by a deep formation of sandstone and red bed material of Wichita Permian.
