Anthony and Berino anchor the western edge of this desert landscape, situated within the fertile Mesilla Valley where the Anthony Lateral canal supports local agriculture. The transition from the valley floor to the high desert is marked by the sprawling Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument and the rugged northern reaches of the Franklin Mountains. Notable landmarks like North Anthonys Nose and Webb Gap define the skyline above the military lands of Fort Bliss. Genealogists may find interest in the location of the Old Berino Cem near the town center, while water management for ranching and agriculture is evidenced by several named reservoirs, including Beech Tank and Berino Tank, dotting the arid terrain toward Anthony Gap.
