Is "Behind this lowland is a dead end." grammatically correct?

Both of

  • Behind this lowland is a dead end.
  • There is a dead end behind this lowland.

are grammatically valid, and their meaning is much the same. The first emphasizes the lowland, the second the dead end. Either could be a literal statement, or some sort of metaphor. Without more context one cannot say, nor judge which would work better.
