Mohawk River
The Mohawk River is a river of New York State that flows east for about 240 kilometres to join the Hudson north of Albany. Its valley, the homeland of the Mohawk nation, was the only low-level route through the Appalachians and a main path of trade and war between the Great Lakes and the Atlantic coast. In the 19th century it carried the Erie Canal, which made New York City the leading port of the United States.
