They are definitely evidence; the “theory” or knowledge being applied itself came from the territory. As long as a map was generated from the territory in the first place, the map provides evidence which can be extrapolated into other parts of the territory.
You need to be very careful with this approach, as it can easily lead to circular logic where map X is evidence for map Y because they both come from the same territory, and may Y is evidence for map X because they both come from the same territory, so you get a positive feedback loop that updates them both to approach 100% confidence.
