I layered ~15 sheets of trace paper and kept a record for a couple of hours of the way I followed links. One page to the next = flip a sheet, use red link spot to orient new window box; back button = flip down a sheet and branch out from same site again; close a tab = end that series and start a new box. Pretty direct and kind of fun.
Yeah, I'd say it's equivalent to mapping the paths that various twigs and leaves take as they float by me, down the stream in my backyard; it's really just a record of movement, from memory, and neat looking but not very helpful if I want to retrace my steps--to make that kind of map I would have to differentiate between the links I follow. It would also be useful to account for how often I access sites, etc. If it becomes more relevant to the topic at hand maybe I'll do an Internet map up proper.
