This a plaque at the entrance of the Prospect park and Purgatory Creek Greenspace which is a beautiful walking trail in San Marcos, Texas.
This is the entrance to the site. It's 463 acres of protected land directly over the recharge zone of the Edwards Aquifer. When you look at the photo you get the impression that it's in a remote, undeveloped area but if you could see directly opposite of the entrance you'd see a thriving neighborhood facing it.
A sinkhole in the park. These are all features of the Edwards Aquifer.
Placed in the park were several of these informative posts to fill you in on sinkholes aquifer critter stuff. Below is a link to a website for the San Marcos Greenbelt Alliance with information on natural areas found in the San Marcos area including the one on this post.http://www.smgreenbelt.org/SMNaturalAreas.htm
