1965 Map of Seitz

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Licking River and its convoluted tributaries carve through the heart of the Cumberland Plateau in this 1960s survey of the Kentucky hill country. This region, where the borders of Magoffin, Morgan, Wolfe, and Breathitt counties converge, is characterized by a dense network of hollows and ridges that defined the settlement patterns of families in Seitz and Hendricks. The map captures a moment of transition for the local economy, where traditional life centered around rural institutions like Zion Ch and Puncheon Sch coexisted with the expanding industrial footprint of a Strip Mine and various smaller Mines found along the southern forks. The arrival of the Parkway Toll Road and Mountain Parkway in the north signifies a shift toward modern infrastructure, bypassing the older, winding ridge roads that formerly connected isolated schoolhouses like Wagers Sch and local burial grounds such as the Cutuno Burton Cem.
