Frenchmans Bluff
Frenchmans Bluff is an irregularly outlined hill of morainic drift[1] in Norman County, Minnesota, in the United States.[2] With an elevation of 1,339 feet (408 m), Frenchmans Bluff is the 62nd highest summit in the state of Minnesota.[3]
Frenchmans Bluff was so named on account of early pioneers finding three ruined log cabins they believed to have been built by French fur traders.[4]
