Census Tract Outline Maps and County Block Maps are organized by County. Each County has one or more tract maps and multiple block maps.   For both tracts and blocks there will be an index map labeled 000_Index if there is more than one map available.  These index maps will show the county boundaries and the boundaries of any places within the county.  It also will have an overlay of a grid of squares.  Each square represents the area covered by one of the maps for that county.  Using this grid, you can determine which map or maps cover the area of interest.  At the center of each square you will find a map sheet number - this number corresponds to the "Map Sheet Number" shown in the selected set of maps for that County from the main query display.  Go back to the main display and view the map sheet number of the areas you are interested in.  The more populated areas are covered by "Inset Maps" which are identified by alpha-numeric labels (examples: A03, C09, G14, etc.).
