The chart has a metric butt load of landmarks. Hell, I'd go so far to say
that it is mostly landmarks.

I don't see that many,

Then you need to have your vision checked. What do you think all that
ink on the VFR chart is for?

but even if that were true, do you really have
time to continually check them all to see how close you are to nearby
airspace boundaries, while in flight?

That depends on whether you are a competent pilot or not. But why do
you think it's necessary to "continually check them all"?

So that you always know where you are.

You don't think there are any ways to know where you are other than
*continually* checking them *all*?

There are other ways, such as dead reckoning, or the use of a single,
highly reliable reference, such as a set of latitude and longitude
coordinates. Some of these methods are easier to use than others.
Longitude and latitude work best with a moving-map device.
