I have a related, seemingly analogous situation that I'm curious about. If a suspect might have physically buried important evidence hundreds of miles of way in the middle of nowhere, such that it is effectively impossible to find, can the courts "compell" the suspect to give up any knowledge of this, in a similar fashion as the man in the article?

No. But proximity carries a great deal of weight for purely practical reasons - when you already know you have the goods then it's maddening to not know how to access them. Not an endorsement of the reasons for the guy's drive being impounded, which I'm ignoring completely for this example.
