Most remote, isolated towns in the US?

I’ve been in Hays.
That’s 4 hours drive from Kansas City.
That’s HUGE for a Brit like me.

Probably someplace in Alaska.

I’d guess Barrow, Alaska.

Isn’t there some town somewhere at the base of the Grand Canyon that you can only access by donkey?

Would a village count?

Where was the movie “Wrong Turn” filmed?

Williams Az!

Terlingua, TX is pretty good escape ‘town’.

Angle Inlet, Minnesota or anywhere eles in Northeren Minnesota is very remote. The only way to get to Angle Inlet is to drive throught Canada, by plane, or cross Lake of the Woods. Its the farthest North you can go in the lower 48.

Edna Bay, Alaska (www.ednabayalaska.net). Population of about 50 on a remote Alaskan island, 60 miles west of the continental mainland, with no means of access other than private boat or seaplane. Closest town with services such as banks, restaurants, lodging, doctors, etc, is Craig, Alaska which is a 40 mile trip by boat south from Edna Bay through waters that can get very rough when the weather picks up – which can happen often. You can’t get much more remote than this in the USA.

Jarbidge Nevada is 60 miles by dirt road from the nearest town, which is a one store crossroads.

creed and crestone, colorado as I recall.

I’ve been to Creed, Colorado and Crestone, Colorado. We asked the waitress, “do you like living here?” and she goes, “not particularly.” She wasn’t smiling.

Another Nevada candidate is Midas, which, like Jarbidge, is in Elko County.
In the East, Clayton Lake, Maine is miles from nowhere.
In Alaska, the community of Gordon is extremely remote.

Would Mobile, Alabama count?
