Narrative

between Solberg Inlet and Mobiloil Inlet, Bowman Coast, E of Rock Pile Peaks (q.v.), was roughly surveyed from the ground by FIDS from "Stonington Island" in November-December 1947, photographed from the air by RARE, 22 December 1947, and further surveyed by FIDS from "Stonington Island" in December 1958; so named because the feature is on the periphery of three separate FIDS surveys (APC, 1962, p.25; DOS 610 sheet W 68 64, 1963). Rock Pile Point, so called in association with the peaks (USBGN, 1965, p.104; USGS sketch map Palmer Land (North Part), 1979). The point was photographed from the air by USN, 1966-69.
