I know what you're going through, I went through it with all four of my Pawns. There really is no easy way to explain what you could be missing. For example, if you've been to Hillfigure Knoll, but you didn't get to it in such a way that all of the points of interest were triggered...say you approached from the head and didn't trigger the Name Plate by approaching from the feet (this is a hypothetical example, although someone in the comments below experienced something similar), then your map will show the area as visited, but your Pawn may not have triggered the the internal counter for the area.

Some areas may require that Pawns perform certain actions, like picking Mushrooms for example, or noticing especially large trees and the like. This is hard to determine because Pawns only ever say anything about Knowledge when a certain number of triggers have been set off, as opposed to other locations where you can visit specific poiints of interest to acquire Knowledge. You just don't have any way of knowing whether they've learned the area or not.
