The bluff was photographed from the air by Lincoln Ellsworth, November 21, 1935, and was mapped from these photographs by W.L.G. Joerg. It appears in subsequent American photographs from United States Antarctic Service (USAS), 1940, and was surveyed by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), 1946–48. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) in 1977 for Lieutenant Commander Gary L. Rowe, USCG, Engineer Officer on USCGC Burton Island, U.S. Navy Operation Deep Freeze, 1975.
