About this map

Half Moon Prairie defines this stretch of Edwards County, where the landscape is marked by a complex network of draws and bluffs. The elevation is anchored by landmarks such as Painted Bluff and Fern Bluff, which overlook the intermittent drainages of Wildcat Draw and Black Stump Draw. This terrain is characteristic of the Edwards Plateau, where water sources like Polecat Spring were historically critical for land use.

Local history and genealogy interests are centered near the southern end of the prairie at the Coalson Cemetery, situated along Cedar Creek Rd. The map detail traces the connectivity provided by rural routes like Co RD 104 and Co RD 288, navigating around natural obstacles like Slide Canyon and the White Mountain Draw. The drainage patterns of Pulliam Creek and Blue Creek illustrate the hydrologic character of the region in the early 21st century.
