Scott, you can say anything you would like, this is a family and all inputs are welcome!!
Faith, I looked at this area because it is a lot like what I have in Texas and I studied what has already been done within your constraints of 15 miles from your town. The clues are the lake above this area, the agriculture in the area and the wild vegetation in the area. But things I can't learn from a satellite picture is how well the soil will hold water, for that, you need to test it. People like Mike Otto can tell you how to do simple tests that would point you in the right direction.
Another thing I saw in the satellite picture was a change in the soil color which possibly indicates better sediments which means you could have better water quality. Also, there are several creeks right there which means runoff.
I hope this helps. As you gain knowledge, you will be able to ask more questions which is fun to do.
Merry Christmas
