The Schulz Point is the western cape of Shirley Iceland in Archipelago of the Windmill Islands off the Budd Coast of the East Antarctic Wilke country .
Aerial photographs of the US operation Highjump (1946–1947) and Operation Windmill (1947–1948) were used for initial mapping. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named the headland in 1963 after the construction mechanic Richard L. Schulz of the United States Navy , who had been part of the winter occupation at Wilkes Station in 1958.
