About this map

Phillips serves as the focal point of this Price County landscape, where the town's grid meets the irregular shorelines of Duroy Lake and Elk Lake. The era is defined by the Soo Line railroad cutting through the eastern half of the map, supporting a local economy tied to the surrounding Flambeau State Forest and several water-management structures like Solberg Dam and Jobes Dam. The presence of the Courthouse and Armory underscores its role as a regional hub.

Water dominates the terrain, with the Elk River winding past Flemmings Rapids to feed into a complex system of interconnected basins, including Long Lake and Wilson Lake. To the north, Janaeek Springs and Mink Spring contribute to a network of creeks such as Deer Creek and Squaw Creek. Local history is preserved at St Patricks Cem and Lakeside Cem, while a Lookout Tower stands watch over the mixed woodland and gravel pits of Worcester and Harmony townships.
