Hi there releaseit,
I think the most famous example is a map with a cautionary phrase saying something like 'there be seamonsters in these waters' or somesuch inscription! The usual method though was to just simplify or make the area past the known area more abstract.
The map showing ships falling off the far edges of a flat world is priceless! ha ha ha
Did you know that lots of maps drawn during the middle-ages had Jerusalem as the center of the earth with mixed mythical or religious geographical places.
