1993 Map of Philipsburg

About this map

Philipsburg sits at the heart of a region defined by high-altitude mining and timber heritage in the Sapphire Mountains and John Long Mountains. This early 1990s survey illustrates a landscape managed largely by the Deerlodge National Forest and Lolo National Forest, where historical mineral extraction is evidenced by sites like the Black Pine Mine and Silver King Mine. The central valley created by Flint Creek connects the main settlement at Philipsburg to smaller localities such as Maxville and Princeton to the north.
