- Blossburg
- Unincorporated Populated Place
- Located in the southeastern portion of Powell County near its boundary with Lewis and Clark County, 1.6 km (1 mi) SW of Mullan Pass.
- Blossburg was the name of a station along the Northern Pacific Railroad and was named by a Mr. Wicks, a mining engineer, after a Pennsylvania coal mining town spelled Blosburg. This community was formerly called Mullan, named for Captain John Mullan who was a member of the Stevens Survey of 1853. That Survey explored Montana in search of routes for a transcontinental railroad. The name was later changed to Blossburg because mail shipments kept being inadvertently sent to Mullan, Idaho.
