In N C we haveHorneytown, Climax, High Point, and on the map if you stretch a string from Climax to Horneytown you will find High Point about half way. Then we also have Frogsboro, Bear Grass Lizard Lick and one from Arkansas is Bald Knob and Toad Suck.

What others do you guys know of?

Kentucky has Monkey's Eyebrow and Big Bone Lick, just to name a couple. There are many others here and in my native state, Tennessee, which has Stinking Springs and the French Broad River. In Indiana there's French Lick, and Pennsylvania has a town named Intercourse.

I've often wondered about Dime Box, Texas. Sounds like a drug dealer's term, but I doubt it. :D
 
Hell, Michigan.

Show Low, Arizona-- Named after a card game, Main street in town is " Deuce of Clubs", the low card that won the game.
 
In Pennsylvania:
Beaver
Big beaver
Bath Addition
Eighty Four and Forty Fort
Panic
Mars
Noodle Doosie ( now called Napierville)
Blue Ball
Ball town
Jug town.
 
A few more from my home state, Kentucky. There's Helechwa, pronounced "Hell each way", as in there's two ways to get there, but, it's Hell each way. Then there's Brightshade & Darkshade, Brodhead, Muddy Gut, Hen Pen & Turkey Pen, Dry Creek, more than a few Elkhorns, & quite a few more, but you get the idea.
 
Two more names of towns in Pennsylvania. I grew up there so they're normal to me, but my wife found them odd.
Petrolia and Oil City. Petrolia isn't far from Frogtown.
