A hawk / falcon / eagle which, if you know the signs, can lead you to food.Super-tall grass that blocks sight.  Sure that looks like a flat area from over here, but that guy you see up to his neck in weeds went over there riding on a horse.Razor grass.  An ouchy form of difficult "terrain".One or two places that are haunted.  A long time ago there was a battle or a massacre - nobody remembers which or who or why any more - and some of the spirits of the dead do not rest easy.  Might be associated with a creek whose waters occasionally run red-ish.</blockquote>
