2016 Map of Seitz

About this map

Seitz and Fritz lie within the complex drainage network of the Kentucky mountains, where narrow hollows and steep ridgelines dictate the placement of local settlements and roads. This landscape is defined by its numerous small communities, such as Bays and Foraker, which are connected by a web of branch roads following the natural contours of the land. The presence of named features like Arnett Hollow and Bunker Bottom Flat highlights the traditional naming conventions that once guided local navigation. High-altitude thoroughfares like the Combs Mountain Pkwy contrast with the older, more intimate network of routes like Laurel Branch Rd and Cherry Orchard Branch Rd. This 2016 survey reflects a region where topographical constraints have preserved a traditional settlement pattern, centered around watercourses like the Left Fork Johnson.
