2022 Map of Half Moon Prairie

About this map

The tiny settlement of Half Moon Prairie sits at the heart of this Edwards County landscape, where the terrain is carved by an intricate network of limestone-character draws and springs. The local geography is defined by prominent landmarks like Painted Bluff and Fern Bluff, overlooking the seasonal waters of Spring Cr. Evidence of early ranching and rural life is preserved in the location of the Coalson Cem and the naming of various water sources such as Paint Bluff Springs, Roberts Springs, and Dripping Springs. A complex drainage pattern is visible through the winding paths of Wildcat Draw, Black Stump Draw, and Mitchell Hollow, reflecting the importance of water management in this part of Texas. Modern access is limited to a few thoroughfares, including Cedar Creek Rd and Co Rd 104, which navigate the high divides between the deeply etched Slide Canyon and the surrounding prairie.
