Usenet Maps from 1980 to 1987

These files represent various historical Usenet maps. Files named MAP, BBM (BackBone Map) and GRF (graphical) are from the floppy disk. I don't recall who sent me the floppy, but the photo is in his handwriting.

Other files in the PDF are photocopies of maps handed out at Usenix conferences in January or June of the year as labeled, and from other sources. Files with Message-ID lines were posted to Usenet and downloaded from groups.google.com.
