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]
