Well, there are 320 node names in the 3/83 graphic, and it's already
bordering on illegible. 7 times as many, especially with the
concentrations in NJ, Chicago, Boston, etc, it would have to be pretty
creative. The Shannon map of 7/84 had over 900 hosts (just on Usenet,
not including UUCP only) and they divided it into 9 sections. I suspect
there were a lot more than 2100 UUCP hosts at its peak.
I haven't had much luck doing searches on Google Groups - it often just
gives me the first page and refuses to sort by date. Is there a good way
to mine all the postings to a particular newsgroup, or all of them in a
particular year?

However, doing a graphical map based on the UUCP
map, or even a
Usenet map after 1987, would likely produce a completely black piece
of paper :)
Why do you say that?
Based on the raw data that I have, I'm showing 2151 #N lines in the
map data that I'm looking at from '98.
