I think recent map-folk use the term "marginalia" a bit more loosely
than those in the book world. Here is a sample discussion:
http://www.icsm.gov.au/mapping/marginalia.html.
For most people dealing with books, marginalia would be comments or
illustrations in the margins of the book, i.e. outside the printed area.
In the case of early printed maps, although the designations for
longitude and latitude are often within the neatline, people still seem
to refer to these as marginalia.

"Marginalia" = the space surrounding outside of the mapped area.

Is there a technical term for the margins of a map where the
longitude/latitude were/are inscribed ?
Thank You,
