James River
Ohio River
Makes up the north half of the western boundary of the state, running
from the tip of the north "panhandle" at Chester, to Guyandotte.
Potomac River
Flows generally southeast, marking a boundary between Virginia and Maryland.
From its mouth, where it empties into Chesapeake Bay, about 100 miles upriver
is Washington, DC, and another
50 miles or so up it is Harpers Ferry,
where it is joined by the Shanandoah. After
ascending another 50 or 60 miles along the northern boundary of what is
not the eastern panhandle of WV, it departs from the boundary so that ascending
further, one goes southwest up a mountain valley in a line that roughly
bisects the eastern panhandle.
Shanandoah River
Runs to the northeast, between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Alleghenies.
