Geologically, Evans County lies in the [[Geology of Georgia (U.S. state)#Coastal Plain|coastal plain region]] of Georgia, an area consisting mostly of [[sedimentary rocks]].<ref name=coastalplain>{{cite web |title=A Tapestry of Time and Terrain: The Coastal Plain, a USGS mapping project |url=http://tapestry.usgs.gov/features/13coastalplain.html |access-date=June 20, 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090506164249/http://tapestry.usgs.gov/features/13coastalplain.html |archive-date=May 6, 2009  }}</ref> The coastal plain is divided from the Piedmont by the [[Atlantic Seaboard fall line|Fall Line]], which passes through Georgia from [[Augusta, Georgia]] in the east, then southwestward to [[Macon, Georgia]], then to [[Columbus, Georgia]] and finally westward to [[Montgomery, Alabama]].<ref name=UGA>{{cite web|title=''The Geology of Georgia'' |url=http://www.gly.uga.edu/GAGeology.html#VR |access-date=June 20, 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070205092731/http://www.gly.uga.edu/GAGeology.html |archive-date=February 5, 2007 }}</ref>

Yet, sedimentary rocks are not the only geological features to be found in Evans County. The county is mostly covered by thin [[sand]] and red and yellow [[clay]].<ref name="bulletin2">{{cite book |title=Bulletin – Geological survey |year = 1921|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=lhIMAAAAYAAJ&q=geology+%22Evans+County%22&pg=PA200 |access-date=August 7, 2009}}</ref> As in Tattnall County along the [[Ohoopee River]], the sand in Evans County that lies along the Canoochee River is white [[quartz]] of a medium to coarse grain.<ref name="bulletin2"/> There is exploitable medium-grain sand covering about 50 acres of land along the railroad above Bull Creek. The pure white sand along the Canoochee could be made into bottle glass, but is expensive to recover.<ref name="bulletin2"/>
