You might have to try your luck at any roadcuts you encounter, or waterways that cut deep enough to expose strata. A good chunk of the area north is mixed with precambrian shield rocks that won't have any fossils. The bedrock geology of the southern and southwestern portion is largely Ordovician, but the challenge is in finding exposures. 

 

What I generally do is obtain a geologic map, and start using Google Earth satellite view to locate possible spots for prospecting.
