Frank, a street sign (and my GPS) did the ID, and I don't know where the name came from. What I can say is that I've never seen so many Roman Catholic churches in such a lightly populated area, and the biggest nearby town is named Malone. There must be a concentration of people with Irish ancestry, but I don't know what brought them here. Looking at MapQuest I find a nearby "Irish Street Road." This one turns up as Mary Reilly Road, without the "O'". The map also shows I made the shot looking due north to the Canadian border, less than half a mile away.

Carl, that road looks just like so many country roads here (including the clouds) - Ireland. Why is it called Mary O'Reilly Road?
