in the wood line it looks like it oculd be a dried up creek bed might be water deeper to the north east

Without scouting the land myself just North of what shows on your link is a lane over what appears to be an intermittent creek that looks like it has potential.

i will scout some more. i doubt they are ridges this area is flat.
What it could be is the fact this is all old strip mine land. I have seen areas that about every 20 yards is a mound of dirt where they dug out and dumped the dirt. But normally there is a pond somewhere close by.
I will scout some more and get back with you guys.So you have more info.

What are the dark areas to the southwest? Coming off these dark areas is a dark line that extends to the south of the bean fields. Are these ridges?

I would try to find the most likely bedding area and scout trails coming into the bean field from that area.

pull up the map you want on the internet. hit your "Prt Sc" button or Print Screen button on your keyboard. Open up microsoft paint and go to Edit - Paste, you now have a picture of whatever was on your screen. Then you just crop the picture. Easy as one two three.

Here is a map with a topo over lay, the blue is a Small slew, the green areas are thickets or old over grown fields.I would look at the spots I have marked in red. Maybe you can take this and show us were you can hunt and can't hunt.
