Map of Swastika Mountain, Oregon 97492, USA
The mountain took its name from the extinct town of Swastika, which was reportedly so named because a rancher there branded his cattle with the image of a swastika. George E. Thompson noted Swastika's unusual place name in You Live Where?: Interesting and Unusual Facts About Where We Live (2009).
A fire lookout tower stood atop Swastika Mountain until the 1950s.
