Have someone who's lived in such a place look over what you've written. I grew up in the country (not in a small town -- it's not the same thing) and people who've only lived in cities/suburbs can get rural life very, very wrong.
Remember that there can be wide differences within an area. Example: Broad Channel Island; population about 3,000. Surrounded by a wildlife sanctuary. Part of New York City.
