Any useful strategies for finding a Nether Fortress in Minecraft?

Anyone have useful strategies for finding a Nether Fortress in Minecraft's Nether?
I got into the nether and wandered around for quite a while, but didn't find anything. I'm not sure if there are giveaways (I was looking for large building-like things in the distance). I've got a map, and have explored a small, but not unreasonable part of it. Any idea how many fortresses a single map might contain?
Question from user P.T. at stackexchange.
Answer:
[This only works for versions older than 1.16].
There are infinite nether fortresses in the nether. They spawn in rows every 200-400 blocks along the world's North/South axis.
Once you find the first one, just keep walking north or south from it to find another.
For Nether Fortress generation after 1.16 see here.
