Unique Place Names

[Wagtail]

I recently discovered a map listing unusual and unique place names, here in Tasmania. They're all true... I, myself live 20km West of "Granny's Gut" and have travelled up & down Bust-Me-Gut (or Gall) Hill and Break-Me-Neck Hill; which are two sides of a very steep ridge.

So, what have you got in your 'neck of the woods'?

Nearby town has a 'Ta Da Dump Rd' I always grin at with my best New Hampshire accent.

I live about 5 miles from Frankenstein, MO.

There's a town here in MO called Tightwad, and another called Useful. It has a cemetery known as, yep, 'Useful Cemetery.'

In Washington we have Sequim (pronounced "Skwim"), Puyallup, Enumclaw, Pe El, Humptulips, Skamokawa, Queets, Cle Elum, Omak and Tonasket. I've been to the intersection of Dwight Way and Wong Way.

An interesting thing about St Helens is that, when established circa 1870's, someone in charge of naming things had a love of the Homeric classics.

Behind my property is the "Golden Fleece Rivulet". It flows into "Medea Cove". I live on "Argonaut Road" and the next town to the South is "Scamander" (the river that ran in front of ancient Troy).

I always thought that it was natural that Intercourse was before Paradise, PA but a woman once told me that ONLY men would think that.
