How to Use This Philipsburg, Montana Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Philipsburg, Montana. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Montana or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Philipsburg.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Philipsburg anchors itself in a high, timbered fold of the earth where the air holds the sharp, thin clarity of altitude. It lies 42.8 miles west-northwest of Butte, MT (from Butte, MT: bearing 302°T), and is situated 21.9 miles northwest of Anaconda. Camp Creek carves a quiet, persistent path through the local topography, its waters reflecting the pale intensity of the sky as it moves toward the lower elevations. To the west, the jagged silhouette of the Rocky Mountains defines the horizon, a serrated edge against the deepening dusk, while the ground rises toward the rugged, pine-shadowed expanse of the Deerlodge National Forest. The land here feels ancient and unyielding, marked by the nearby expanse of Browns Gulch and the quiet stillness of Kroger Pond, where the wind ripples the surface like hammered silver.

Philipsburg emerged from the raw ambition of nineteenth-century silver mining, leaving behind a streetscape of brick facades that seem to hold the heat of the sun long after the shadows lengthen. While the subterranean veins that once fueled the local economy have largely quieted, the legacy of that industry persists in the colorful minerals that still draw the curious to the region. Today, the pace of life follows the slow turn of the seasons, influenced by the proximity of Montana State Trust Lands and the seasonal migration of those seeking the solace of the Sapphire Ski Trail. A sense of enduring purpose defines Philipsburg, as the echoes of pickaxes have faded into the steady, rhythmic labor of a community that understands how to inhabit such a vast and demanding landscape.

About This Philipsburg Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Philipsburg, Montana. Coordinates: 46.332148, -113.29423. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Philipsburg includes the ZIP code (59858), telephone area code (406), county seat of Granite County (Philipsburg), and school district assignment (Philipsburg K-12 Schools).

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.

Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
