2023 Map of Kenna

About this map

Kenna sits as the central settlement in this eastern New Mexico landscape, positioned where the High Plains transition through various ephemeral drainages. The area is defined by a series of shallow depressions and catchment basins including Fry Lake, Beaver Lake, and Sealey Lake, which punctuate the arid terrain south of the town site. The map documents the persistent infrastructure of the cattle ranching country, with Railroad Mountain RD and Claunch RD connecting remote parcels across the county line. Genealogy and local history researchers will find the locations of both the Kenna Cem and the Old Kenna Cem clearly marked near the banks of Kenna Draw, providing precise coordinates for these local landmarks. The layout reflects a contemporary view of this rural corridor, where Highway 70 serves as the primary artery through the Chaves and Roosevelt county borderlands.
