There are two mountains in Oregon commonly called Scott Mountain. The Scott Mountain further north, 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 and Google Maps, these two summits, although within approx. 30 miles of the other, are clearly unique. This Scott Mountain has its summit in Lane County, Oregon, in the United States. The 6,099-foot (1,859 m) mountain is in the Mount Washington Wilderness and the Willamette National Forest.
The Scott Mountain in Lane County was named for Felix Scott, Jr., an Oregon pioneer.
There is a pending request to Wikipedia to add a separate reference for Scott Mountain (Douglas County), near Glide, in Douglas County, Oregon. In addition to Scottsburg, Oregon, both Mount Scott (Klamath County),Oregon) and Scott Mountain (Douglas County) were named after Levi Scott (Oregon politician). Using the U.S. Forest Service topography map, the map shows Scott Mountain (Douglas County, Oregon) with an elevation of 4,250 ft at its highest point. The Douglas County DFPA also had, until the recent Archie Creek fires, a tower on Scott Mountain.
