We report exact calculations of the ground state degeneracy per site (exponent of the ground state entropy) $W(\{G\},q)$ of the $q$-state Potts antiferromagnet on infinitely long strips with specified end graphs for free boundary conditions in the longitudinal direction and free and periodic boundary conditions in the transverse direction. This is equivalent to calculating the chromatic polynomials and their asymptotic limits for these graphs. Making the generalization from $q \in {\mathbb Z}_+$ to $q \in {\mathbb C}$, we determine the full locus ${\cal B}$ on which $W$ is nonanalytic in the complex $q$ plane. We report the first example for this class of strip graphs in which ${\cal B}$ encloses regions even for planar end graphs. The bulk of the specific strip graph that exhibits this property is a part of the $(3^3 \cdot 4^2)$ Archimedean lattice.
