contents In this paper, we demonstrate that any asymptotically flat manifold $(M^n, g)$ with $4\leq n\leq 7$ can be foliated by a family of area-minimizing hypersurfaces, each of which is asymptotic to Cartesian coordinate hyperplanes defined at an end of $(M^n, g)$. As an application of this foliation, we show that for any asymptotically flat manifold $(M^n, g)$ with $4\leq n\leq 7$, nonnegative scalar curvature and positive mass, the solution of free boundary problem for area-minimizing hypersurface in coordinate cylinder $C_{R_i}$ in $(M^n, g)$ either does not exist or drifts to infinity of $(M^n, g)$ as $R_i$ tends to infinity. Additionally, we introduce a concept of globally minimizing hypersurface in $(M^n, g)$, and verify a version of the Schoen Conjecture.
