How old is this crowd? No one knows Luckenbach?

For me it's mostly places in the middle of nowhere that popped up on Google Maps because they had the same name as a city this side of the pond that I was looking for. I know there are several tiny Londons, a tiny Prague, and iirc even a tiny Poland

Bluff, Utah. Met a bloke online who told a joke off it, which only made sense after searching for "A bland bluff in Utah." Which brought up another town.

Alabama

Jackman, Maine. Went once, not a very interesting place, about 1000 people there, in the middle of fucking nowhere

Joshua Tree

i've been to the USA once so this might not count... but i think i knew "Salem" before visiting the US (but did not visit Salem though) so it might as well count.

However very long after knowing Salem exists i saw a documentation about something in the area that possibly caused halluzinations in the peoples minds, the documentation suggested this was a likely cause for the cities history, but those effects were why i knew about Salem in the first place. i don't remember what it was, think some plant, but don't remember exactly.

however this is the smallest city i could name in the reagion you asked for.

well, but: I don't see a geopolitical isolation there, they even want to build walls to start isolating themselves. and i don't see anything unique in that situation either. newzealand, iceland, madagasca just to name a few are more isolated geopolitically and much more unique in so many ways too.

could you help me to see the geopolicically isolation and uniqueness you are talking about?
