From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The US Geological Survey defines the community of Inskip as being located in Butte County at latitude/longitude 39°59′24″N, 121°32′24″W. Elevation is listed as 4,816 feet above mean sea level (AMSL). Historical variants to the name suggest the community's history may have included mining. Variant names listed include Enskeeps Diggins and Inskip Town.

The town is reached by Skyway Avenue, which makes a loop from State Route 99 in Chico, through Paradise, eventually connecting with State Route 32 near Butte Meadows.

Terrain in the area is mountainous and forested. The community itself is outside, but near, portions of the Lassen National Forest.

A valley named Blowhard Ravine, USGS feature ID 1723786, exists about 0.9 miles at 140 degrees off true north. It is not labeled on the Stirling City quadrangle but does appear in the National Geographic Names Database as of 2006. At the bottom of the ravine runs the West Branch of the Feather River. Inskip Pioneer Cemetery is located almost exactly 1 mile due south of town on a hill overlooking Skyway Av. The cemetery is located at latitude/longitude 39°58′33″N, 121°32′20″W.
