A fold axis outlines the ridge of a hill. By definition, a ridge is the narrow hilltop of a mountain range. This is why when they are drawn on maps, they appear as a fold axis. Its curvature shape is what makes it a unique element of topographic maps, and make it easier for people to identify them when needed.
