On August 4, 1826, Sir John Franklin (1828, p. 146), applied the name Point Manning to the E point of an island, which now is, by local usage, called "Barter I." John Simpson's 1853 native map seems to apply the Eskimo name Nu-wa-ak Point (the place of barter); however, Leffingwell (1919, p. 94) applies the similar Eskimo name Nuwuak to Collinson Point, although these two names may be of entirely separate origins. Leffingwell is probably responsible for the present application of the name "Manning Point." On coast of Beaufort Sea, 8 mi. E of Barter I., between Jago and Kaktovik Lagoons, Arctic Plain.
The 8 mi. quoted above is somewhat exaggerated when compared to USGS topographic maps. Manning Point is 4 km ESE of Kaktovik (town) on Barter Island.
Per Gean Demouthe (email), California Academy of Sciences, their locality label reads "Nuwok Beds, Manning Point near Kaktovik, North Slope, Alaska" (WW Besse).
