Some road names have a poetic twist

~ Jnana Hodson

Country roads sometimes carry imaginative monikers.

Here are some ones that stand out in my encounters:

  1. Bellsqueeze (Maine)
  2. Cat Mousam (Maine, named for Catherine Mousam)
  3. Clay Lick (Indiana)
  4. Diamond Mill (Ohio, named for the pattern on the mill’s label rather than little gems sparkling in the pavement)
  5. Feedwire (Ohio)
  6. Indian Ripple (Ohio)
  7. Labor in Vain (Massachusetts)
  8. Needmore (Ohio)
  9. Snakeroot (Maine)
  10. Sweet Potato Ridge (Ohio, in some truly flat terrain)
