Short answer:
Drums Along the Mohawk (1939) is set in New York’s Mohawk Valley but was
filmed largely in Utah , using several scenic locations there.
Main Filming Locations
Most of the outdoor scenes were shot in southern and central Utah, standing in for 18th‑century upstate New York.
Key locations include:
- Aspen Mirror Lake, near Duck Creek Village, Utah, USA
- Duck Creek area, near Kanab, Utah, USA

- Mirror Lake (listed as “Aspen Mirror Lake” in some sources), Utah, USA

All of these Utah landscapes were used to represent the forests, valleys, and frontier farms of the Mohawk Valley during the Revolutionary War period.
