Template:Use American English Script error: No such module "Infobox".Template:Template otherScript error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". The Row River is a river, approximately Script error: No such module "convert". long, in Lane County, Oregon, United States. It rises in the Cascade Range and flows into the Coast Fork Willamette River near Cottage Grove. The stream was originally known as the "East Fork Coast Fork", but was later renamed after a dispute (row) between neighbors and brothers-in-law George Clark and Joseph Southwell over "trespassing" livestock.[1][2] Clark was killed as a result of the row.[1] The name rhymes with "cow" rather than with "slow".[1] A post office named Row River operated from 1911 to 1914 a little north of the present site of Dorena at Script error: No such module "Coordinates"..[1]
Course
The Row River, about Script error: No such module "convert". long, drains a portion of the Umpqua National Forest on the west face of the central Oregon Cascades between Cottage Grove and Oakridge. Its headwaters are near the unincorporated community of Disston, where Layng Creek and Brice Creek join at Script error: No such module "Coordinates".. The river flows predominately westward.[3][4]
About Script error: No such module "convert". below Disston, Gleason Creek enters from the right bank, and about Script error: No such module "convert". later, the Row receives Hunt Creek from the right and passes over Script error: No such module "convert". Wildwood Falls at Script error: No such module "Coordinates"..[5] A quarter-mile (500 m) later it passes through Lasells D. Stewart Park, and Script error: No such module "convert". later through the community of Culp Creek, where it receives Sharps Creek and then Culp Creek, both from the left bank. Turning northwards, the river receives Hawley Creek from the left just above river mile (RM) 15 or river kilometer (RK 24) and shortly thereafter flows through Dorena. At RM 14 (RK 23), Cedar Creek enters from the right. Soon the river turns sharply west, passes a United States Geological Survey (USGS) stream gauge at RM 13.2 (RK 21.2), and turns to the northwest. Over the next stretch, it receives Pitcher Creek, King Creek, and Anderson Creek, all from the left, before entering Dorena Lake at RM 11 (RK 18).[3][4]
While part of the lake, the Row River receives Vaughn Creek from the left, Smith Creek from the right, Bluff Creek from the left, Rat Creek from the right, and Baker Creek from the left before reaching Dorena Dam and spillway at about RM 7.5 (RK 12.1). The river passes a second USGS stream gauge Script error: No such module "convert". from the mouth, and soon Hann's Creek enters from the right. In its final Script error: No such module "convert"., the river receives Mosby Creek from the left, turns northwest, flows by Cottage Grove State Airport, and passes under Interstate 5 before entering the Coast Fork Willamette River just below the larger stream's RM 21 (RK 34).[3][4]
Discharge
The USGS monitors the flow of the Row River at two gauges, one near Dorena, Script error: No such module "convert". from the mouth and the other above Cottage Grove, Script error: No such module "convert". from the mouth. The average flow of the creek at the Dorena gauge is Script error: No such module "convert".. This is from a drainage area of Script error: No such module "convert".. The maximum flow recorded there was Script error: No such module "convert". on December 22, 1964, and the minimum flow was Script error: No such module "convert". on September 4–6, 2003.[6] At the Cottage Grove gauge, the average flow is Script error: No such module "convert".. This is from a drainage area of Script error: No such module "convert".. The maximum flow recorded there was Script error: No such module "convert". on December 28, 1945, and the minimum flow was Script error: No such module "convert". from September 25 to October 7, 1958.[7]
