Some friends of my Parents moved to New Hampshire years ago, and while their house was being built, the rented an old farmhouse on “Purgatory Road”. It was around Peterborough, I think. I still laugh about it.

I knew a guy that moved in to a new development (at the time) in NH. “Bloody Brook Road”. According to him, the M-i-L of the developer fancied herself another Doris Kerns Goodwin, and researched the area. Supposedly, there was a clash of some sort, Indians v. Brits, Brits v. French, etc.
There’s a Purgatory Road in the ill Country of Texas, between San Marcos and New Braunsfels.
There’s a Purgatory Rd. crossing Rt. 146 in MA. You take it to get to Purgatory Chasm.
