About this map

Spiderweb and the small settlement of Hollow Creek define the rural landscape of this Aiken County terrain in the mid-1960s. The area is marked by a high density of community centers and spiritual landmarks, including The Tabernacle, Capers Chapel, and numerous smaller houses of worship like Galilee Ch and Runn Ch. The presence of several schools, such as Downer Sch and Sleepy Hollow Sch, alongside Redcliffe State Park, points to a long-established social fabric.

Extensive claypits and various individual claypit sites across the northern section reveal the extractive industry of the period. This work is juxtaposed with family history found in the many scattered burial grounds, including Glover Cem, Hammond Cem, and Galphin Cem. Waterways like Town Creek and Hollow Creek wind through the hills, feeding into local reservoirs such as Johnsons Lake and McElmurray Pond.
