2020 Map of Philipsburg

About this map

The Granite County Courthouse serves as the focal point for the mountain community of Philipsburg, where the residential grid meets the sprawling topography of the Philipsburg Valley. This 2020 record of the landscape illustrates the complex water management system required for both mining and agriculture, evidenced by the Marshall Cr Canal and the winding course of Flint Creek. To the east, the terrain rises sharply toward Rumsey Mtn and the site of Rumsey, a location deeply tied to the region’s silver-mining history. The map detail extends to local landmarks such as Riddick Field and the Philipsburg Cem, while the southern reaches show the intersection at Porters Corner. Significant natural features like Fred Burr Cr and the heights of Franklin Hill define the borderlands of the Deerlodge National Forest, where gulches and hills remain primary geographic markers.
