1 But these took this counsel among themselves, that they would leave the multitude of the heathen, and go forth into a further country, where never mankind dwelt,
42 That they might there keep their statutes, which they never kept in their own land.
43 And they entered into Euphrates by the narrow places of the river.
44 For the most High then shewed signs for them, and held still the flood, till they were passed over.
45 For through that country there was a great way to go, namely, of a year and a half: and the same region is called Arsareth.
46 Then dwelt they there until the latter time; and now when they shall begin to come,

Re: ANYBODY USE USENET? AND PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW IT WORKS
I have not used it in years. Torrents pretty much took usenet's place. I doubt you will find maps, etc. there. Read on on Forte Free Agent newsreader and how to set it up. Your ISP may not offer usenet groups or limit them. There used to be paid providers. The data is not out there forever, so "retention" of old things will be limited.

Library of Congress has great old historical maps. I downloaded and had a print made of an old map of my hometown as a present for my dad one year. Sorry I don't have a link, OP but there was also a bunch of historical info to accompany this particular map as well.

Use one of the clients to download like sabnzbd. It has a browser based gui.

[link to sabnzbd.org]

To find stuff you can use one of the search engines on the net like binsearch.

[link to www.binsearch.info]

Not sure you will find what you are looking for there. As someone else mentioned, there is a retention limit on all the providers. Think the highest is about 1200 days or so.

OP, best of luck finding something useful in those mountains of spaghetti.
Usenet doesn't have a search engine. Say for instance you were looking for a keyword in the body of a message. Sorry can't do that. Best you can do is hope that your keyword is in the message header.
Usenet used to be good for lots of things. Sadly, you missed the boat by atleast a dozen years.
