Axial, Colorado
Axial is an extinct town in Moffat County, in the U.S. state of Colorado. The GNIS classifies it as a populated place.[1]
A post office called Axial was established in 1890, and remained in operation until 1958.[2] The community's central location near the "axis" of mining activity caused the name to be selected.[3]
