Rimrock and the surrounding El Paso County desert landscape are defined by a grid of rural residential development and critical water infrastructure. In this arid reach of the Chihuahuan Desert, the distribution of water is traced through various catchments such as Harry Tank, Roberts Tank, and Rimrock Tank, which support the sparse settlement. The naming of the local road network, including Wagon Train Ave, Western Rodeo Rd, and Pioneer Cir, reflects a cultural connection to the region's ranching and frontier heritage. To the south, larger water bodies like the Indian Cliffs Ranch Main Lake, Rattlesnake Lake, and Fabens Lake provide significant geographic markers near Hacienda Rd. This 2012 survey illustrates the transition of the West Texas landscape as traditional ranching spaces intersect with modern residential planning.
