Am I going crazy? I am convinced that there was an island in center of the Kanto that was inaccessible but I cannot find any map that had it

But the issue is that I remember seeing it actually in game when checking the town map.

The legendary mirage island "C"...

Memoryholed frontlines of the war Surge fought in, absolutely decimated and riddled with landmines. Absolute no-go zone

Yeah yeah grandpa Surge, time to go back to your trashcan gym, good luck remembering the code watch out for those Diglett nearby!

I can't see MIRAGE ISLAND today...

I thought that image was a shot of the actual Kanto map at first so I guess the idea isn't unbelievable, but maybe that just shows how simplistic the map graphics are. Like you can just add new stuff to the map and it feels believable enough because the layout wasn't too complex to start with.

But no, I don't actually remember an inaccessible island. I feel like such blatant hints of a secret area would've been something everyone would've obsessed about and made up a million fake cheat codes for.

I just recently had a vivid dream that there was this semi-hidden ice cave filled with trainers in Kanto with unique background graphics (looked like ice the way the Seafoam Islands originally looked in the beta RGB data), and in the dream I felt like a fucking idiot for somehow never knowing about this area before. I was probably thinking about the ice area from Gen 2

I can just about guarantee you are remembering seeing this bit. You might have thought it was an island as a kid, but Game Freak's pixel art on the Game Boy made people hallucinate a lot of things.

I don't recall ever reading or hearing anything like that, OP, and I can tell you there were all sorts of wild and crazy rumors and "secrets" back in the heyday of Gen 1.
What would've been crazy cool, imo, is if the Cerulean Cave would've essentially been what you're describing, only y'know, accessible still. Keep it post game, make it in a very isolated, hard to reach area that requires a lot of traversing and HM moves to overcome, build it up with some lore about how dangerous it is, perhaps linking it to some past secret government and/or illegal activities or experiments, or something. And obviously it would need a different name since it wouldn't be in Cerulean any longer.

Are you sure you're not confusing the Hoenn map with the Kanto map?

Hoenn has a similar Cinnabar/Dewford layout on the map, and there IS an inaccessible island on the RSE map.

Definitely not Hoenn, but now I'm thinking that maybe it was in some rom hack.
