Those are stashes. Sometimes when you search a corpse, you'll find notes on a nearby stash - I seem to recall they get marked on your map with the radiation symbol. You'll see a notification in the text notes of the main screen when it happens to.
They're basically containers in the world that are empty until you get one of those notifications, at which time they'll be filled. Once you empty the stash - remove everything - it will be demarked. After it's been emptied, you can find a stash clue to it again, and it gets refilled. What's in any particular stash never changes - if it had 200 ammo in it the first time, it will every time.
Stashes are almost always located in the map you find the notification for. Some of them - especially later in the game - are extremely valuable. Others, not so much.
