Asher is a recognized location in Yuma County, Arizona. It's not a big city or town, but a place where people live or have lived. You can find it on maps like the Wellton Mesa U.S. Geological Survey Map. This spot is about 305 feet (93 meters) above the ocean.

What is a Populated Place?

A "populated place" is a term used by mapmakers and geographers. It describes a named location where people live, but it might not have a formal local government. Unlike a city or town, it doesn't always have a mayor or town council. It's often a small community or a historical settlement.

Where is Asher Located?

Asher is found in the southwestern part of Arizona. It's specifically located within Yuma County. This area is well-known for its desert landscape and warm climate.

Elevation and Geography

Asher's elevation is about 305 feet (93 meters) above sea level. This means it's fairly low-lying compared to many other places in Arizona. Arizona has a lot of mountains and high plateaus. Being at a lower elevation often means warmer temperatures, especially in a desert region like Yuma County.
