I was also obsessed with this game (Commodore 64). I never had the real version, and my bootleg floppies didn't come with a map.

Somewhere in my boxes, I still have (8-12-ish?) pages of taped together graph paper that I drew the map on, one screen at a time.

I recall enormous frustration waiting for some subset of the (was it 6?!) disks to load one at a time, especially when missing an edge and gliding all the way to the ground from a tree limb in the sky.

Despite all the waiting around, Below the Root is one of the best games of all time for me.
