The Eilandspolder is located in the middle of North Holland, sandwiched between the Beemster and Schermer drying plants. Villages in this area are Graft, de Rijp, Oost- and Westgraftdijk, Noordeinde, Grootschermer, Driehuizen and Schermerhorn. To the south it almost joins the Wormer and Jisperveld, an area with a similar character. To the north lies the Mijzen polder, a more or less similar area that is still mainly used agriculturally.
The entire island polder is open and wide in character and is primarily a meadow area, very rich in meadow birds, such as curlew and black-tailed godwit. Waterfowl (wigeon, plovers) and birds of reed beds (sedge warbler) are also numerous. There are also natural lakes, wide watercourses and many vegetation on the land. The area is also important for the root vole.
