In addition to looking at carto-bibliographies probably the best source for articles / footnotes relating to historic maps that may not be illustrated would be "Imago Mundi: The International Journal for the History of Cartography"
(This same journal may also allow you to compare articles on the same cartographic subject that are accompanied by illustrations.)
Stroll down to your closest JSTOR equipped library for access (or perhaps the University of Minnesota for the bound volumes.) See
http://www.maphistory.info/imago.html for a summary.

I would suggest looking at some of the hundreds/thousands of
carto-bibliographies and catalogs or histories that have been published
in the past 100+ years...there are many footnotes leading to a map (e.g.
The History of Cartography, ed. J. B. Harley and David Woodward). I
think "a text that would be totally incomprehensible with out a
cartographic adjunct" is subjective. For example, any text dealing with
U.S. Public Land Policy in 1850-60 may be totally incomprehensible
without a cartographic adjunct to some. Also, any text dealing with a
military campaign or battle wherein the reader was not a participate or
familiar with the terrain. Or, texts describing slight differences in
the published states of the same cartographic work.
Best wishes,

Hi. I am writing the first comprehensive history and critique of
documentation (attribution, marginalia, footnotes, bibliographies,
etc.). I am making the case that illustration is sometimes a subset of
documentation. Can anyone provide some hints or ideas of how or where
(specifically) cartographic data, information, or examples exist, or
could be construed, as a subset of documentation?
Very precise (and perhaps non-existent) examples would be a footnote
leading to a map, or a text that would be totally incomprehensible
without a cartographic adjunct.
Please reply to me rather than the list: <[log in to unmask]>.
Thanks,
