Summary:

It explores the historical myth of California as an island, a cartographic and cultural phenomenon that influenced global maps and perceptions for over two centuries. The story begins with the narrator’s discovery of numerous old maps from the 17th to 18th centuries depicting California as a separate island off the west coast of North America—a fact contradicting earlier, more accurate maps from the 1500s. This discrepancy leads to an investigation into the origins and persistence of the myth.
