      It’s just not very inspiring. Makes me think of dried up river beds. There’s a lot of things you can name a town. Silt and Rifle do not lead me to believe there’s a lot of intellectual stimulation. More desperately trying to scrape a living out of scrub brush and rocks. Maybe it’s really nice. What do I know.

      silt noun

      1. fine sand, clay, or other material carried by running water and deposited as a sediment, especially in a channel or harbour

      verb

      1. become filled or blocked with silt

      Example: the river’s mouth had silted up

      “Silt” sounds like the name of a settlement I’d set a post-apoc action-adventure novella in.
