I would assume that there is some minimum square footage above the reference line. For example I assume that a certain rock between Round and Forty is not an island but then what is?

Bizer's definition is right on the page that I linked to:

Our first task was to define what constitutes an island. What is the dividing line between a large rock and a small island? When does one island become two? Well, this is our definition; your results may vary: It must be surrounded by water at high lake in June; It must have vegetation (otherwise it's just a rock); Man made breakwaters do not count as islands, BUT we do count former natural islands where fill has been added to join two land masses; There must be at least a three foot height difference between the island's tallest point (including vegetation) and the surrounding water's shallowest depth (e.g. if the surrounding water is only 14 inches deep, the island must rise at least 22 inches above the surface).
