1967 Map of Savage

About this map

Savage and its surrounding agricultural lands are captured here during a period of steady groundwater-dependent farming. The landscape is dotted with numerous points labeled well, indicating the critical reliance on the Ogallala Aquifer for this portion of the Texas Panhandle. Historical markers like the Old Emma Cem preserve the memory of earlier frontier settlements, while the presence of a Landing Strip and multiple Gravel Pits reflects the mid-century infrastructure supporting the local rural economy. The topography is characterized by shallow depressions and gentle elevations typical of the Llano Estacado, where small-scale industrial sites like a Gravel Pit punctuate the vast stretches of ranch and farmland.
