About this map

Saint Francis sits at the southwestern edge of this High Plains landscape where the border between Potter and Carson counties meets. This area of the Texas Panhandle is characterized by large-scale agricultural and industrial infrastructure, evidenced by the intricate network of county roads and specialized routes like Ranch Rd 293 and Fm 2373. The terrain is punctuated by significant depressions and ephemeral water bodies, most notably the namesake Sevenmile Basin in the south and Pantex Lake in the northeast.

Local history is centered at the Liberty Cem, located near the junction of several county roads including Co RD 7. The street names, such as Sheridan Dr, Grant Dr, and Pershing Dr, suggest a planned or institutional layout amidst the rural expanses. This 2016 survey documents the modern grid of Carson County, tracing how ranching roads and farm-to-market systems define the movement across this open Texas terrain.
