1965 Map of Seitz

About this map

Seitz sits at the heart of this mid-1960s study, a time when the rural landscape of Magoffin County was defined by its intricate hollows and early extractive industry. The area is heavily intersected by the Mountain Parkway and associated Toll Road, which cut through the steep terrain near Johnson Mountain. This survey reveals a high density of local institutions, including the Puncheon Sch, Cutuno School, and Wagers Sch, reflecting a settled population dispersed along the forks of the Licking River and Wolf Creek. Genealogy resources are abundant, with family-named landmarks like Arnett Hollow and several small burial grounds such as Rudd Cem and Walters Cem located near the headwaters of various branches. The presence of a Strip Mine and multiple scattered Mines signals the region's historical reliance on coal, while churches like Zion Ch and Samaria Ch served as central community anchors in the narrow valleys.
