2011 Map of Pearson

About this map

Pearson and its neighboring hamlets of Hagler and Harmon define the residential character of this Tuscaloosa County landscape. The area is defined by a dense network of family-named cemeteries, such as the Sandy Creek Cemetery, Burns Cemetery, and Hubbard Cemetery, which suggest long-standing generational ties to the land. The terrain is marked by the passage of Bear Creek and Mooney Creek, while Pearson Gap provides a natural corridor through the local topography. Further east, the Stewart Settlement and Little Hope represent small, dispersed clusters of rural development. The drainage patterns of Big Sandy Creek and Haggard Creek dominate the northern half of the sheet, illustrating the creek-fed geography that once dictated the placement of early homesteads and country roads like Hagler Coaling Rd and Serty Boyd Rd.
