From left to right, Widdows Island, Eucalyptus Island and Kings Island. Byron Tract is on the west edge, and Victoria Island is on the east edge.

Widdows Island is a small island in the Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta along the Old River distributary of the San Joaquin River.[2][3] It is part of San Joaquin County, California. Its coordinates are 37°51′40″N 121°34′27″W / 37.86111°N 121.57417°W / 37.86111; -121.57417 (Widdows Island)[1], and the United States Geological Survey measured its elevation as 0 ft (0 m) in 1981.[1] It appears on USGS maps of the area as dry land up to 2018; the latest 2021 topographic map shows the island now mostly flooded, with the old levee surrounding it still above water.[4]
