The Tracy Point is the western cape of the island Beall Iceland in Archipelago of the Windmill Islands off the Budd Coast of the East Antarctic Wilke country .
An initial mapping was made using aerial photographs of the US Operation Highjump (1946–1947) and Operation Windmill (1947–1948). The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named the headland in 1963 after Gordon F. Tracy, a United States Navy radio operator and crew member at Wilkes Station in 1958.
