Default RE: finding good hunt spots by map

Anything that forces deer to move through a specific location. Example: a small strip of woods going between a creek or river and corn field, bean field, etc. The narrowest point between the corn and the river is a pinch point that would probably be well traveled, set up a stand with favorable wind and hunt it (this is an extremely general, yet common example)

If you want more examples of really general setups and situations - grab a F&S, OL, Peterson's, or other hunting mag - many of those give great examples of general setups and recommendations on how to hunt them. The best way to learn, however, is through experience. Learn the area you hunt and start marking spots on the maps as you scout. Eventually, you'll start drawing on all sorts of movement/feeding/bedding patterns from your notes on the maps you made while scouting.
