Flooding on the Mohawk River
The Mohawk River is a tributary of the McKenzie River, about 26 km long, in west -central Oregon in the United States.
It drains part of the foothills of the Cascade Mountains on the southeast end of the Willamette Valley just northeast of Springfield.
The river rises in the northern Lane County about 19 km northeast of Springfield. It flows mainly to the southwest and flows from the north at the north end Springfields in the McKenzie River.
The river gave the Mohawk River strain of Kalapuyan the name, the Indians who inhabited the river valley in the 19th century. They are not related to the Mohawk in the eastern United States.
