Rock Bluff is located on Farm Road 1431 along the upper reaches of Lake Lyndon B. Johnson, about fourteen miles southwest of Burnet in western Burnet County. The community may have begun as a stop on the Texas and New Orleans (later Southern Pacific) railroad in the mid-twentieth century. In 2000, when the first population figures were available, Rock Bluff reported forty residents.
