The town of Gordonsville anchors this survey of the Virginia Piedmont, where historic transportation routes and family legacies define the landscape. This region, where Orange and Albemarle Co meet, is characterized by a dense concentration of lineage-rich sites, including the Lee Family Cem near Old Somerset and the Madison Family Cem overlooking Poplar Run. The topography is defined by the prominent peaks of the Southwest Mountains, featuring Chicken Mtn, Scott Mtn, and Cowherd Mtn. These ridges overlook the Rapidan River at Liberty Mills and the varied stream network of Blue Run and Mountain Run. The presence of Montpelier Station and the Gordonsville Municipal Airport illustrates the area's continued role as a central hub, while numerous small burial grounds like Annadale Cem and Jacksontown Cem offer precise points for genealogical research.
