Shamanic tradition (or what I've heard about it) says everything
has a spirit that can be contacted. So there's no place in Earth where a
shaman cannot summon a spirit. If he's in a cave, he will summon the
spirit of that cave, if he is in a forest, the spirit of that forest,
etc. In the case of the cave, you might use the same stats as those of
a mountain spirit, for example, but the entities themselves can't be put
into neat categories.

I agree with NeoJudas about roads; the spirit summoned should
"belong" to the enviroment sorrounding the road.

Unless, of course, the road itself is famous, one that got a
reputation of it's own. I believe Route 66 would fit in this :).
