West of Chambersburg PA, there's Dot. Appropriate, since it's not much more than a dot on a map any more. Up north, there's Jersey Shore - too bad it's about 3 hours from the seashore...

My hometown Biggar Saskatchewan
The "New York Is Big But This Is Biggar" slogan came about in 1909 according to local legend. A survey crew had a bit too much to drink one night and wrote the phrase on a sign as a prank.
We also have a Elbow,, Moose Jaw , Cut knife, Indian Head,Outlook, Oxbow, as well as Climax and Love Saskatchewan though they are no where close to each other.

We have Two Dot Montana. A thriving metropolis... Not too far away is Checkerboard MT. I guess because it's so spread out, land parcels are still a checkerboard of sections.
