 Immediately after this the road cuts through a corner of Clinch County surrounded by forestland and only intersecting local dirt roads until it enters Atkinson County and encounters the southern terminus of a concurrency with Georgia State Route 64

South of Pearson, US 441 joins the concurrency with US 221/SRs 31/64 bringing the overlapping SR 89 to an end, however US 221 continues north along that multiplex until it reaches the town whereas SR 64 leaves at US 82.North of US 82 US 221/441/SR 31 becomes a four-lane undivided highway that runs northeast then after the bridge over Pudding Creek curves to the northwest along the left bank of the Satilla River, then turns straight north to finally cross that river.Six miles later the routes enter Douglas.
