Brannan Island is a small island in the Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta. It is part of Sacramento County, California, and managed by Reclamation District 2067. Its coordinates are 38°07′19″N 121°38′37″W / 38.12194°N 121.64361°W, and the United States Geological Survey measured its elevation as −13 ft (−4.0 m) in 1981.
