There are very few places with "nothing" in them.  There might be 
creeks or peaks or vegetation types.  But what we can do is to 
define layers such as "all secondary or bigger roads" or "all 
churches, cemetaries and memorial monuments" and indicate whether 
these feature groups have been covered in an area.
