Burdell Island on a 1954 USGS topographic map.
Burdell Island is a former island in the Petaluma River, upstream of San Pablo Bay (an embayment of San Francisco Bay). While it was previously surrounded by water and swampland, it is now surrounded mostly by dry land (although it remains much higher than surrounding land). It is part of Marin County, California. Its coordinates are 38°09′22″N 122°33′17″W / 38.15611°N 122.55472°W, and the United States Geological Survey gave its elevation as 52 ft (16 m) in 1981.
