Ryer Island
The following links and information show GPS and other mapping services and how they report or display Ryer Island.  Requests for correction have been made, but in an effort to help persons trying to find the REAL Ryer Island, please note that many GPS or phone maps renamed Snug Harbor Drive as "Port Lane" in Walnut Grove, even though there really is no such MAIL address.  Ryer Island is located in Solano County and is bordered by Steamboat Slough to the south, Cache Slough/Sacramento Ship Channel to the west, and Miners and Sutter Sloughs to the north and east..  You can click on the maps to see larger versions of each but the first map below is our own and it shows the routes or roads and waterways to Ryer Island.

Google Maps shows Ryer Island-Steamboat Slough as "Tyler Island" but notice to correct has been submitted in 2008.

Oddly enough, Google Earth recognizes the correct name for the island...

Ryer Island and Long Point Island as shown on Solano County Survey maps

Examples how governmental reports will use the name "Ryer Island" in various reports.  The borings map from 2007 doesn't name the Ryer Island-Suisun Bay location on the map, but does include it in 2006 and older reports and maps.

We've found several examples of soils test samples taken at the Ryer Island in Suisun Marsh area incorrectly applied to reports on the OTHER Ryer Island, above Rio Vista.
