Mohawk is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in the U.S. state of Michigan.[2] Located in Keweenaw County, it is within Allouez Township. As an unincorporated community, Mohawk has no legally defined boundaries or population statistics of its own but does have its own post office with the 49950 ZIP Code.[3] The ZIP includes most of mainland Keweenaw County and also uses the Eagle Harbor and Eagle River designations.[4]
Mohawk is centered along U.S. Highway 41 just north of the village of Ahmeek in the Keweenaw Peninsula. It is the site of the Mohawk Mining Company, which conducted copper mining in the early 1900s.[5] Mohawkite is a rare mineral that is believed to be found only in the Mohawk Mine.[6]
