Yes, this is real funny stuff. You can see some photos of people in these towns in two illustrated books on this topic.
Here are two photo galleries from “Passing Gas And Other Towns Along The American Highway” and “Reaching Climax And Other Towns Along The American Highway”

I can understand “Dead Man’s Gulch” but when I did the research I still can’t believe anyone would name their towns with such lunacy!
