What is a Populated Place?

The term "populated place" is used by mapmakers and geographers. It describes a named location that has, or once had, people living there. Unlike a city or a town, a populated place doesn't always have its own formal government or a very large number of residents. It could be a small group of homes, a ranch, or even just a historical site that was once active. Darling fits this description as a recognized geographical point.

High Elevation in Arizona

Darling's elevation of 6,227 feet means it's located in a higher area. This can affect the local weather and environment. Places at higher elevations often have cooler temperatures compared to lower areas, especially during the summer. They might also receive more snow in the winter.
