That depends on what you consider an island. I consider it an island. The
USGS says it is an island. Is Howell Island no longer an island because of
the spillway built out to it? What about all the islands with the dikes
built out to them? What about the land Harford Castle GC198XG is on? It is
surrounded by a moat-does that make it an island?
