2013 Map of Seitz

About this map

Arnett Hollow and the surrounding drainages of the Right Fork Licking River define this corner of Kentucky, where the landscape is etched with the names of families who settled along its narrow valleys. The sheer density of family cemeteries, such as the William Big Bill Patriotic Cem, Alex and Mary Cem, and the Ambrose and Susan Arnett Cem, provides an exceptional genealogical record. These burial sites are often located near small, dispersed settlements like Seitz, Fritz, and Puncheon, reflecting a traditional Appalachian land-use pattern where domestic life followed the creek beds. Distinctive terrain features like Bunker Bottom Flat and Town Flats indicate the few level areas amidst the steep topography, while names like Right Middle Fork and Craft Fork trace the essential water network that once dictated the location of homesteads and local roads.
