Find a climbing shop in the area that you climb. Assuming that there is an actual climbing community, they will have maps, books... or just beta for you.

do lots of research! get guidebooks for the areas and read! Talk to locals at the crag or at the climbing shop.

IF you go to your local sports store usually they have guide books...They'll tell you where the bolts are if it's a sport climb

Usually if you have a guidebook for your area it will tell you.
