Anacapa – grupa 3 wulkanicznych wysp leżąca 23 km od wybrzeża hrabstwa Ventura w Kalifornii. Anacapa jest częścią archipelagu i częścią wysp Parku narodowego Channel Islands. Składa się z trzech wysp: East Island, Middle Island i West Island. Nazwa Anacapa wywodzi się od słowa eneepah z języka Indian Chumash (ang. mirage island)[1].

The flag of Navassa Island is simply the United States flag. It does not have a "local" flag or "unofficial" flag; it is an uninhabited island. The version with a profile view was based on Flags of the World and as a fictional design has no status warranting a place on any Wiki. It was made up by a random person with no connection to the island, it has never flown on the island, and it has never received any sort of recognition or validation by any authority. The person quoted on that page has no authority to bestow a flag, "unofficial" or otherwise, on the island.
Flag of California. This version is designed to accurately depict the standard print of the bear as well as adhere to the official flag code regarding the size, position and proportion of the bear, the colors of the flag, and the position and size of the star.
