There is also a town called Truth or Consequences (T or C for short) which was named after the same game styled TV show back in the day (Google it)

According to local lore, the headland was worn bare of vegetation, making it stand out in contrast to the forest behind it. This "bald" headland served as a reference point for ships entering the river, and the name Bald Head Island has endured. - Wikipedia

Appears to be surrounded by desert. Chugging & stocking up on water while passing through may be good advice! Especially as there is a place there which I hope is only named "Burns Land & Cattle", rather than that just being a statement about the road...

Here in Denmark we have several towns called “Lem”, which means penis. (It also means “member” or “limb”)

Nibley was named after a leader of the Mormon church. Stupid things you get taught here in Utah.
