Kenna sits along the high plains of Eastern New Mexico, serving as a focal point near the boundary where Chaves and Roosevelt counties meet. The landscape is defined by its intermittent drainage patterns and dry lake basins, characteristic of the Llano Estacado. Significant water features such as Kenna Draw and Falsey Draw cut through the terrain, while numerous depressions form named sites like Fry Lake, Beaver Lake, and Sealey Lake. Genealogists and local historians will find the placement of Kenna Cem and the Old Kenna Cem particularly useful for tracing early ranching families. The network of local roads, including Railroad Mountain Rd and S Roosevelt Road 28, highlights the enduring rural infrastructure that supports this sparsely populated region.
