The Little Holland Tract is a partially submerged island in the Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta, in Yolo County, California.[2] Its coordinates are 38°19′27″N 121°39′20″W / 38.32417°N 121.65556°W / 38.32417; -121.65556 (Little Holland Tract)[1], and the United States Geological Survey gave its elevation as 13 ft (4.0 m) in 1981.[1] It appears on a 1952 USGS map as a large rectangular tract; by 1978, survey maps show it cut diagonally by the Sacramento River Deep Water Ship Channel.[3][4]
