This post is updated as new usenet maps are posted on olduse.net.
April 1986 map of backbone sites only:
Here is the backbone as of 1 April 1986:

This is the European backbone (mcvax feeds all of them):
penet enea diku unido penet -> Finland

| / | \ prlb2 -> Belgium
| / | \ i2unix -> Italy
vmars ukc prlb2 i2unix vmars -> Austria
(Shout out to anon.penet.fi which penet later provided! --Joey)
The map is up to 519 sites in North America plus 29 sites in Europe.
and 1 in Australia. It is becoming increasingly three-dimensional.
Because of this, there is one crossover on the map, as well as a number
(16) of connections that are keyed in with numbers (so that (1) connects
to (1) and so on).
Reading the map: -, |, and + indicate connections. Lines never pass
through a +, which always indicate where the connecting line ends or
changes direction. Logical buses are represented by =. This means
that a site such as hplabs is indicated by the entire string of
characters as follows: +====+=hao===+====+.

The map is up to 448 sites in North America plus 11 sites in Europe.
It is becoming increasingly three-dimensional. Because of this, there
is one crossover on the map, as well as seven sites that appear twice.
Those sites are: burl, esquire, ihps3, inmet, npoiv, princeton, and
uw-beaver.
Reading the map: -, |, and + indicate connections. Lines never pass
through a +, which always indicate where the connecting line ends or
changes direction. Logical buses are represented by =. This means
that a site such as hplabs is indicated by the entire string of
characters as follows: +===hplabs+=+========+.

How to read the map: Connections are denoted by either a "|" or a "-".
"Logical buses" are denoted by "=" or "+". A logical bus is merely
a way of providing more space to indicate connections to a site. For
example, hplabs is represented by the character string "+===hplabs===+".
Places on the map where a dash and vertical bar intersect do not
represent actual intersections, but rather crossovers (think of them
as a highway over/underpass). Unlike the last logical map, there has
been no attempt made to differentiate between various types of networks,
largely because that information is difficult to obtain.

There should be an update for early June 1984 - June 7? (I have my own copy from when we first connected ;) )

Thanks for the special mention - and, oh the days of USENET-over-UUCP... :)
Julf (mcvax!penet!julf)
My first two email addresses were pur-ee!jm (late 70's) and tekadg!jm (1980) and my usenet posts can still be found (i.e. Homebrew Digest, search for "New Peculier"). Prompted by the periodic discussions I often have with younger engineers who believe that the Internet & DNS have always been there, I went searching for the old maps we used to print out and hang on the wall so we would know how to route our communications. I clicked on several sites and found one, intelqa, whose entry was written my an old college chum of mine (I can say chum because we are old now). I sent it to him. A blast from the past. Thanks for keeping this out there, to be stumbled over.
