2020 Map of Pearson

About this map

Pearson serves as the focal point of this South Georgia landscape, situated within the flatwoods and wetlands typical of the coastal plain. The town's grid is centered around the Atkinson County Courthouse, reflecting its role as a regional seat of government. Waterways define the surrounding territory, with the Satilla River meandering across the northern half, joined by smaller tributaries like Sweetwater Creek and Pudding Creek. These streams are set against a backdrop of low-lying features such as Ricketson Bay and Little Red Bluff Creek, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the area. Rural life is evidenced by the network of country roads named for local families and landmarks, such as Gutherie Heights Rd and Jowers Chapel Cem. This modern survey provides a detailed look at the interface between the established town and the extensive pine-dominated wetlands that have long shaped the local economy.
