That's the way I also learned it, however with some of the maps I have used there have been white areas in the middle of rain forests where you could hide a regiment. I was told by the folks that issued us the maps that the white area depicted places that they could not confirm by aerial mapping so rather than confuse the issue anymore they just left the area blank. The maps I really loved were the one where the UTM grids converged-that made for interesting navigation and reporting procedures.
