The Mohawk River is the largest tributary of the McKenzie River,〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher= McKenzie Watershed Council )〕 approximately long, in west central Oregon in the United States. It drains part of the foothills of the Cascade Range on the southeast end of the Willamette Valley northeast of Springfield. It rises in northern Lane County, approximately northeast of Springfield. It flows generally southwest and enters the McKenzie from the north on the north side of Springfield. The river's valley is known as the Mohawk Valley. The Mohawk River was probably given its name by Jacob C. Spores in 1849. Spores was a native of the Mohawk River region of New York, and the Oregon river's valley reminded him of the Mohawk Valley in his home state.〔 In turn, the Oregon river gave its name to the Mohawk River band of Kalapuyan Native Americans who inhabited the river valley in the 19th century. They are not related to the Mohawk tribe in the eastern United States. Current and former settlements in the Mohawk Valley include Donna, Mabel, Marcola, Mohawk, and Wendling. ==See also== *List of rivers of Oregon 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mohawk River (Oregon)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
