The other dividing line is the Blue Ridge Mountains. The entire Shenandoah Valley from North to South is much more conservative than the Eastern side is at least as far South as Charlottesville. The way I look at the two Virginias is one being North of the James and East of the Blue Ridge (much of which is considered the Piedmont) and the other is everything else.
