Hi Jean (and everyone else),
I second Paul Gardner's suggestion to try and use google maps (
http://www.google.com/maps), which works well more often than not, but I
also wanted to add some useful links for eBird Hotspots:
Ohio Hotspots Wiki: http://ohioebirdhotspots.wikispaces.com/
eBird Tool: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/news/hotspot-explorer/
Also, feel free to email whoever mentioned an unfamiliar area for more
information, or (if you're on Facebook) ask in the relevant groups there,
e.g. the groups "Birding Ohio" (https://www.facebook.com/groups/BirdingOhio/)
or "Central Ohio Birders" (
https://www.facebook.com/groups/CentralOhioBirders/).
Good birding,
