2013 Map of Axton

About this map

Axton serves as a central hub in this Virginia landscape, where numerous secondary roads converge in a pattern of rural settlement. The geography is defined by the winding course of the S Prong Sandy River and its many tributaries, such as Sugartree Cr and Cascade Cr, which have historically dictated the placement of homes and farms. Notable small communities like Soapstone, Leatherwood, and Stockton are connected by a network of named lanes and ridge roads, including Mountain Valley Rd and Jones Ridge Rd. To the north, Glady Fork Mountain rises above the drainage of Glady Fork, while landmarks like Davis Field Airport and Camp Axton reflect the modern utility and recreational use of the land. This survey provides a clear view of the area's transition from traditional homesteads like Burnt Chimneys and Boxwood to contemporary residential developments.
