Āspās

Aspas lies in the high plains of northern Fars, south of Eqlid. Mountain streams and springs water fields in this upland basin, where the Zagros ranges meet the drier interior plateau. The Eqlid country was described by medieval geographers as fertile and well supplied with running water, in contrast to the desert lands beyond the mountains. Villages spread across the plain and the gentler slopes, with pasture on the higher ground around them.
