Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Establishment and Government of the District of Columbia The main branch of the Potomac River borders the District on the west, beginning at its northwestern boundary, and, after a course approximately southeast and south, leaves it at its southern extremity. It is joined from the east about 8 miles north of the latter point hythe Anacostia River, or Eastern Branch, Which flows through the District in a southwesterly course to that point. The District is also drained by a number of smaller streams which flow into the Potomac and Anacostia. The navigation of the Potomac for large vessels practically termi nates at the Aqueduct Bridge, about 3 miles from its junction with the Anacostia, and the navigation of the Anacostia, at the Navy-yard bridge, about 2 miles above its junction with the Potomac.
