Yarnell is an unincorporated historic locale in Lane County, Oregon, United States.[1] It was located about 5 miles south of Mohawk, in the Mohawk Valley.[2]
Yarnell was a station on the now-defunct Marcola line of the Southern Pacific Railroad.[3] It was established in 1901, and was likely named for Jere Yarnell, a local resident listed as living in the area in the 1880 census.[3] There was a Yarnell covered bridge about a mile north of the station that carried Hill Road over the Mohawk River.[4][5] The bridge was built in 1916 and demolished in 1958.[4][5] In 1915 there was a Yarnell School.[6]
