Does anyone know where the origins of the term "map" instead of "Level" or "course" or "World" came from for first Person games?

I think its either Wolf3D or Doom. Wolf 3D referred to them as levels, with some references to map like in debug. Doom is where most people probably familiarized with the term- with the level naming "E1M1"- Episode 1 Map 1, etc.
nah man, that history goes back into the 70's with the "maze map" viewer for Maze Wars. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CF9XKRWnsTY …pic.twitter.com/QiW5a9El6M
