FM 700

Farm to Market Road 700 (FM 700) is located in Howard County. It runs from Business I-20 in Big Spring to US 87 north of Big Spring.

FM 700 was designated on November 8, 1946, from US 80 (now Business I-20) west of Big Spring to the north boundary of the U.S. Air Force Training School area (later Webb Air Force Base). This route was formerly War Highway 14 from 1942 to 1946. On October 16, 1951, the road was extended east 2.5 miles (4.0 km) to US 87, replacing a section of PR 8.

On June 15, 1961, the northern terminus was relocated to FM 669 and SH 350, shortening the route by 1 mile (1.6 km). On August 30, 1988, a 2.2-mile (3.5 km) section from SH 350 west to US 87 was added.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “wikimedia list article” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 2, 2026.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
