Looking at topo maps, what areas should I focus on? Ridge lines? Saddles? Watched a few videos on youtube but they all say something different. Any advice is appreciated!

Transition cover and pinch points between areas.
Aerial photos will likely be more helpful than a topo....

In flat farm ground yes but if you are talking about hunting big woods a topo will allow you to identify pinch points, saddles and other terrain features much better than an aerial photo. Using the two in conjunction will help you get a good idea before you ever set foot in the woods.

Maps.indiana.edu has more layers than anything I've seen. I usually just use best available image, elevation, property boundaries, and waterways.
It's a little tricky to use at first, but I found it pretty useful once I got the hang of it.
