remote settlement
Far-flung habitation
A remote settlement is a small community located far from larger population centers, often with limited access and few services.
The phrase emphasizes isolation and distance: The remote settlement could only be reached by bush plane.
Such places may be villages, outposts, or camps in wilderness areas, deserts, or polar regions.
