The Anacostia River is a small river that runs partially through the Capital Wasteland.

Background[]

Around the year 1608, the river was named after a settlement of Anacostan Native Americans built along the river bank.[1] Prior to that, it was referred to as the eastern branch of the Potomac River.[1]

Layout[]

The Anacostia River is a tributary of the Potomac River that runs to the northeast. Rivet City is located on the river, beginning just across the Maryland border and runs southwest into Washington D.C., joining with the Potomac at the peninsula southeast of the Jefferson Memorial, traversed midway by Anacostia Crossing.

Appearances[]

The Anacostia River appears only in Fallout 3.
