Phillipe Buache's ( an early 18th Century 'theoretical geographer along with Guillaume and Joseph-Nicolas Delisle) maps were published by the Académie Royale des Sciences in the 1750's, just at the cusp of the turn to empiricist ubiquity of the 'cartographic reformation', although at the time his methods were already coming into conflict with another 'discontinuous archive of knowledge' (hardcore empiricist explorers left blank spaces in the map of America where evidence had not been collected first hand by reliable, homogeneous sources) http://twenteenthcentury.com/saul/cartography.htm"Historians of cartography might do well to emulate Buache's recognition and acceptance of archival discontinuity rather than simply condemning his maps as 'bizarre,', 'fantastic and inaccurate.'
