    From Wikipedia "Scratch Ankle got its name from the fact locals, who were often seen by railroad workers scratching their ankles due to excessive mosquito bites.["

    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.
