1943 Map of Philliips

About this map

The lumber and rail town of Phillips serves as the focal point for this survey, situated at the confluence of Elk Lake and Duroy Lake. During the early 1940s, the surrounding Price County landscape remained deeply defined by its rural education network, evidenced by numerous schoolhouses like the Kerr Slashing Sch and Enterprise Sch that dotted the townships. The Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie Line provides the primary industrial artery, connecting Phillips with the junction at Prentice to the south.
