An Ad Hoc Atlas

An ad hoc atlas then is a collection of hypotheses added to geographic space in order to save it (geographic space) from being falsified and to compensate for geographic space’s anomalies not anticipated by it in its unmodified form.

That being said, it might be worth noting that the work of an ad hoc atlas rejects falsificationism: it embraces its theories as it becomes increasingly burdened by ignored falsifying observations and ad hoc hypotheses.
