Kanawha River

The Kanawha River is an unmarked location in Fallout 76.
==Background==
In 2082, after the Summersville Dam was destroyed by David Thorpe during the Christmas Flood, the contents of the Kanawha River rushed through the town, devastating West Virginia's capital city.Fallout 76 Vault Dweller's Survival Guide Atlas of Appalachia p. 337: CHARLESTON"Though you should make time to explore the north lakeside community of Summersville, and the shanty dwellings scattered across the deceptively dry Summersville Lake, you'll probably spend most of your time surveying the damage the city of Charleston suffered after the dam broke, sending the contents of the Kanawha River rushing through town (and that’s not counting the bomb damage)." 
==Layout==
Formed by the Summersville Dam on its namesake lake, the river flows northwest through Charleston, formerly spanned by the South Side and West Charleston Bridges. The Kanawha River is shallow, completely dry in some sections, branching through Charleston in the riverbed's lowest elevations.Fallout 76 Vault Dweller's Survival Guide Atlas of Appalachia p. 335: ZONE E: CHARLESTON AND SURROUNDINGS"The city of Charleston encompasses this and the next eight Primary Locations, all within a relatively delineated border (basically the ruins on either side of the empty Kanawha River)." The riverbed is joined by the likewise dry riverbed of the New River near Charleston Station, continuing after with only a few sparse patches of water remaining, dotted by makeshift structures.Fallout 76 Vault Dweller's Survival Guide Atlas of Appalachia p. 337: Kanawha River Stilt Shack
