AXTELL
            Axtell is on 
              US-89 between Gunnison and Salina. 
              The Town was settled in 1870 and received the name Willowcreek for 
              the small, willow lined creek where the settlement was located. It 
              received the name Axtell on March 15, 1876, after Axel Einerson, an 
              early settler.
