Scott Mountain refers to several mountain summits in the U.S. state of Oregon. Scott Mountain in the Willamette National Forest is sometimes confused with and referred to as Olallie Mountain; while some records show these two summits in Lane County as the same, other records indicate differently. According to the Willamette National Forest website, these two summits are unique.[4] This Scott Mountain is in Lane County, Oregon, in the United States.[5] The 6099feet mountain is in the Mount Washington Wilderness region of the Willamette National Forest.
Scott Mountain and Scott Lake, in Lane County, were both named after Felix Scott, Jr., a cattle rancher and businessman.[6] [7] [8] With the help of brother Marion Scott and other local residents, Felix Scott hired fifty or more men to build a road up the McKenzie River in 1862.[6]
Scott Mountain, in Lane County, should not be confused with Scott Mountain, in Douglas County, Oregon, near the town of Glide.
