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.
