The Walhonding River is a principal tributary of the Muskingum River,〔(Columbia Gazetteer of North America entry )〕 23.5 miles (37.8 km) long,〔Ohio Department of Natural Resources. (''A Guide to Ohio Streams.'' ) (Chapter 10: Major Ohio Watersheds (pdf) )〕 in east-central Ohio in the United States. Via the Muskingum and Ohio Rivers, it is part of the watershed of the Mississippi River. It drains an area of 2,252 square miles (5,833 km²).〔 The Walhonding flows for its entire length in Coshocton County. It is formed by the confluence of the Mohican River and the Kokosing River and flows generally east-southeast,〔 *DeLorme (1991). ''Ohio Atlas & Gazetteer''. Yarmouth, Maine: DeLorme. ISBN 0-89933-233-1〕 passing through Mohawk Dam, which was built in the 1930s by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for the purpose of flood control in the Muskingum River watershed,〔(Mohawk Dam website )〕 and through the towns of Nellie and Warsaw. Downstream of Warsaw it collects Killbuck Creek. It meets the Tuscarawas River at the city of Coshocton to form the Muskingum River.〔 ==Variant names== According to the Geographic Names Information System, the Walhonding River has also been known historically as: * Walhandink River * White Woman Creek * White Woman River * White Womans Creek * White Womans River * Whitemans Creek * Whitewoman Creek * Whitewomans Creek * Wolhonding River 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「Walhonding River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
