2018 Map of Kenton

About this map

The settlement of Kenton sits at the junction of several drainage systems in the Oklahoma Panhandle, providing a window into the remote geography where the Great Plains meet the foothills of the Rockies. To the north, the Comanche National Grassland spans across the border into Colorado, emphasizing the trans-border nature of this landscape. The terrain is defined by deep incisions like Blacksmith Canyon and Burrows Canyon, which cut through the high tablelands. Landmarks such as Black Mesa and Robbers Roost Peak overlook the winding courses of the Cimarron River and Dry Cimarron River. For genealogists and local historians, the Kenton Cem and the surrounding network of section roads like e0075 RD offer specific points of reference for tracing family roots in this corner of Cimarron County, where geological features like Independence Arch have stood for generations.
