Default Topo Map of my spot......Please help

Ok.....I have huntedthis particular spot of land for many years, but this year I wanna try a new approach for stand placement. The land Im hunting is 330 private lease acres but is surrounded by thousands of coal company acres open to hunting. The hunting is strictly bow-only and it is typical to get trial cam photos of multiple p&y bucks at any given time but they are mostly nocturnal.
I cannot read a topo in the hill country for anything!! All the different elevations get me confused. I managed to narrow the area down. The Red dot Is where I park my truck. There is an old logging road running from there along the creek on the upper side, it then crosses somewhere around where I put the yellow spot and countinuesto the top of the mountian to the gravel road at the top, which is being used for timbering that starts just below the road and runs on the other side. I do most of my hunting in the hollow well below the gravel road. I know its a long shot and pretty confusing but do you guys see anything that stands out on the map such as a funnel that I may need to check out???

Find a tree that you can hang a stand on..... You know the area that well, looks like woods and a creek to me.

There is all big woods and no obvious funnels that stand out. If I were hunting this, I would start with the creek crossings, which should be fairly easy to find, then follow them to figure out their travel routes, feeding zones and bedding areas. When you find good sign and travel intersections, mark them ( I do this with a GPS). You'll begin to find a pattern and a possible ambush point or two in time.
