This is simply a way to get an otherwise unnamed peak to render and also, I suspect, to sidestep the inconvenience of converting the elevation to meters. AFAIK, there are no peaks with the generic name "Point" on any USGS Topos. In addition, placing the elevation into the name is another trick that should be discouraged.
