The Internet used to be a much smaller entity than it is now and back in 1977 you could actually draw a map of the entire internet.
Back then the only way to actually connect to the net was to be part of ARPANET, which was one of the world's first operational packet switching networks, and the first network to implement TCP/IP, and the progenitor of what was to become the global Internet.
The map shows the different locations of the connected computers, and on the map you can make out different states such as Hawaii, Texas and Illinois. At this point all the systems connected to ARPANET were owned by universities such as Stanford and UCLA, or the government. The make and model of the computers at each of the locations are in boxes. For example, PDP 11 describes the Digital Equipment Corporation's Programmed Data Processor 11.
