Axial and Cross Mountain are historic ghost-town sites in Moffat County and are not populated places today, so they are omitted from the table above. A handful of names on older lists — Craig Place, Craig South Highlands, Iles Grove, Jack Springs, Juniper Hot Springs, Loyd, Offield Place, Robinson Place, and Wilson Place — could not be verified as distinct current settlements and are not carried over here.<\/p>\n
