2016 Map of Savage

About this map

Emma Cem stands as a focal point for genealogical interest in this section of the South Plains, marking the site of a community that once served as a county seat. The landscape is characterized by a precise grid of rural roads, including Ranch Rd 40 and Fm 1525, which organize the agricultural territory surrounding the small settlement of Savage. These thoroughfares reflect the highly structured land division typical of West Texas ranching and farming country. In the southwestern corner, the terrain breaks its geometric pattern where the headwaters of Plum Cr carve subtle relief into the plains. This 2016 survey captures the area's modern continuity, showing how established family sites and local landmarks like Ranch Rd 1525 persist in a region defined by its vast openness and agricultural heritage.
