Summary/Abstract: This article wants to present the geographical axis as an entity capable of explaining a part of the territorial social realities. The geographical axis, interpreted as a territorial social axis, becomes a convergent social space, defining for the human communities organized along certain material energies charged both informational and economic. The territorial axes acquire permanent, natural and social operation ability through the characteristic community which governs it in time. This study focuses on the spatial structure of the Geographical axes. We have a lot of flat shapes for the spatial structure: we have axes, polygons and they have a lot of different geographical extensions in territory. The aim of the research is to analyze the geometric models of territorial and social realities. The social and economic attributes of the territory are discussed in numerous studies. The aim of my research is to analyse these shapes of the axes type. The axes, they show the spatial structure of an area in a simple way that is why they are used not only in scientific researches but also in educational publishing, in education, in regional policy and the social territorial analysis. The axes is one form in territorial modelling. It is often used to symbolize development corridors, linear urban and traffic zones etc. Sometimes the axes are used to represent an area including some countries, regions which are in the same political, economic, social and natural position.
