Original Roman era route planners are interesting in their own right.

Not so much 2D projections on a plane (as seen in the link), more 1.5D scrolls akin to railway | subway route graphics.

The road scrolls unroll to reveal parallel lones, left and right, horizontally departing a central hub, with waypoints for destinations marked along the way.

Early examples of network diagrams collapsed to a near linear projection.
