Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Deer Island is a former island in Marin County, California, close to (and formerly surrounded by wetlands of) the Novato Creek, upstream of San Pablo Bay (an embayment of San Francisco Bay). It is now the location of Deer Island Preserve. It used to be inhabited by Antonio DeBorba, who diked the nearby wetlands to avoid having to use a boat to get home. The building is still there on the Northeastern part of the island. Deer Island's coordinates are 38°05′52″N 122°32′13″W, and the United States Geological Survey measured its elevation as 167 ft (51 m) in 1981. It appears in a 1954 USGS map of the region.
