2010 Map of Seitz

About this map

The Right Fork Licking River carves through this part of Breathitt County, anchoring a landscape where small settlements like Seitz, Fritz, and Foraker follow the narrow valley floors. The mapping reveals a distinct pattern of family-named land use and genealogy, particularly through its high density of small family burial grounds. Notable sites include the William Big Bill Patriotic Cemetery in the north and the Ambrose and Susan Arnett Cemetery to the east. These small, scattered cemeteries, along with locations like Arnett Hollow and Bunker Bottom Flat, suggest a long-standing kinship network tied to specific creeks and hollows. Transport in the area is defined by winding rural routes such as Stevens Branch Rd and the Seitz-Spruce Pine Branch Rd, which navigate the complex drainage systems of Johnson Creek and Puncheon Creek.
