Yes you should know your environment. Having known distances at a stand is a good idea.
But you first have to know how your rifle preforms at different distances. You have to know your bullet drop first.
Most hunters keep their shots under 300yds. Heck most keep them under 100yds. So one of the most important landmarks is the distance marking your cut off for taking a shot.
