Bluff Creek rises in the southeast corner of Collin County (at 33°35' N, 96°23' W) and flows southwest for two miles to Moores Lake. From the dam at the west end of the lake, the stream flows west for a half mile and then turns southwest again to run an additional 1½ miles to its mouth on Camp Creek, near the northern border of Rockwall County (at 33°00' N, 96°26' W). Bluff Creek traverses flat to rolling terrain surfaced by dark clays that support prairie grass, mesquite, and cactus.
