Page 31/32 of the manual for The Legend of Zelda for NES says
Legend has it that there are caves in every possible place above ground. Link is bound to find them as long as he has enough power. Get the idea?
I knew there were a lot of secrets hidden within the game, but I never realized there is supposedly a cave or secret on every screen? Is this true?
And as a bonus, if it is true, could someone link to a map that shows them all? 🙂 Thanks.

No, there isn't a secret entrance on every screen. Additionally, not all of them are accessible right from the get-go. Some require items that you collect through game play, like bombs.
An overworld map, as well as all hidden locations, and where to find what (like free rupees, potion shops, gambling spots etc) can be found here.
