1985 Map of Inskip Hill

About this map

Inskip Hill and its neighboring Little Inskip Hill dominate this volcanic landscape in northeastern Tehama County, where the terrain is marked by cinder cones and lava flows. The settlement of Paynes Creek serves as a central point along the winding road through the hills, while smaller locales like De Haven and Meeker are scattered across the surrounding slopes. The map reveals a land utilized for both recreation and resource management, containing the Tehama State Wildlife Area and a portion of the Lassen National Forest. Local industry and infrastructure are represented by the Mt Lassen Trout Farm, various quarries, and the Inskip Lookout Tower perched atop the high ground. Notable geological and ranching features include the Inskip Caves and the Childs Ranch, illustrating the intersection of the region's unique subterranean features with its long-standing pastoral history.
