Default Stand Placement

This is my first crack at posting on an online hunting forum, and forgive me for my lack of education as I am new to deer hunting. I realize there are many factors that go into stand placement, most of which you need to actually be on the land to determine. But I was wondering if any of you seasoned deer hunters might have just some basic recommendations/advice on where to hang a couple of stands based on an aerial map of a property. I have attached a photo below.

Yellow = Property boundaries
Black = Easement to property
Blue = Water
Red = Current hunting tower
Maroon = Mowed out/Bush Hog'd trails that have easy accessibility

Couple of notes:
-The majority of the property sits up on top of a hill (the easement travels straight upwards).
-The 15 square acres of heavy timber off to the EAST goes straight downhill, and doesn't finally level off until the east boundary of my property.
-The Southern and Nothern sections are both lighter timber and heavy brush/grasses, so from my observation those seem to be the sanctuaries.
-South of my property is just more timber and a county road, no crops.

Let me know what else I might be missing that I can provide without someone actually seeing the land! I'm looking at good places to hang 2 more stands, and also some food plots.

Thanks
