Mike,
USGS maps show scattered dwellings within .4 mi. of the Clarke-Fauquier-Warren
tripoint. According to Microsoft Streets and Trips, they are on roads called
Axton Lane, Deer Path Lane, and Fawn Ridge Road (all Linden, VA). These roads
are accessed from Fire Trail Road, which is at the top of Blue Mountain Road.
The tripoint should be approximately 200 yards east of the intersection of Fire
Trail Road and Axton Lane.
