As Consul-General, Travis held unlimited power in the Achaean Territory. He ruled by decree and was permitted to take any action that pleased him. He was the sole author of the [[Achaean Civil Code]] and the [[Achaean Royal Charter]]. These two documents, which comprised the whole constitution of Achaea, codified the government structure and placed all executive, legislative, and judicial authority in the Consul-General. On 10 June 2004, the Consul-General dissolved the [[Chancellery of the Achaean Territory|government of the Achaean Territory]] and proclaimed himself Interim Grand Duke, pending the decree of the [[Grand Ducal Mandate]], the new constitution of [[Westarctica]], which gave Travis the title [[Grand Duke of Westarctica]].

It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1959–66, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after Leo E.
