From Wiki on the origin of Dickshooter, ID.

Dickshooter was named for Dick Shooter, a man who “established a homestead there”. Dickshooter Ridge Road was once used to travel from Silver City, Idaho to Salt Lake City in Utah, and to Humboldt County, Nevada, and offered “spectacular views of vertical walled gorges and vistas of the surrounding desert plateaus.” It has frequently been noted on lists of unusual place names.
