What part of the us saw industrialization grow because of the presence of rivers to power machines?

During the industrialization the U.S was able to use steam engines. New Orleans saw a 1000+ increase in boats within just 20 years. The Northeast however was the part of the U.S that saw industrialization grow because of the presence of rivers to power machines.

I hope this helps! :)
