Planning a hunt near Ady? The Potter County hunting map is really two maps: where public access exists, and who owns everything else. In this Potter County guide: state sources for public ground, using the parcel viewer for boundaries, and how to ask for permission.
Getting started with the Potter County hunting map
For a home near Amarillo, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department publishes the public-land maps, with rules that vary by area.
Getting to the right map

Being a good guest

Deeds, plats and who keeps them
When the details count, get the recorded deed through the County Clerk; the parcel line is a drawing of it, for land near St. Francis included. Long-held tracts around Lake Meredith National Recreation Area may go back through many deeds, so a title company earns its fee on a real sale.
