unplotted
Not on charts
Unplotted describes something not marked on a map or chart: unplotted territory, an unplotted island.
It also applies to stories or narratives lacking a structured sequence of events: The novel felt unplotted, more a collection of moments than a story.
Land that hasn't been surveyed and divided into lots is unplotted: unplotted acreage.
