Free Union serves as the focal point of this Piedmont landscape in Albemarle County, where the foothills meet the rising slopes of the Blue Ridge. The area is defined by a dense network of mountain hollows and named ridges, including Blackwells Hollow, Rich Hollow, and Peavine Hollow, which funnel numerous watercourses like Buck Mountain Cr toward the South Fork Rivanna River Reservoir. This 2013 survey illustrates a rural community pattern still anchored by traditional crossroads and gathering places such as Patterson Store, Davis Shop, and Nortonsville.
