You are overdoing with all your center environments (which introduce
unwanted spaces) and your spacing commands are at the wrong places:

\begin{figure}[!htb]
 \centering 
 \hspace*{-0.5in}%
 \includegraphics[scale=0.9]{results/may_sd_missing.pdf}
 \caption{All school districts of Ohio in 2010.}
 \label{ohsd}
\end{figure}

Is there any way that I turn the picture and caption together?

Use sidewaysfigure from the rotating package:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1-2]
\begin{sidewaysfigure}
\centering
\rule{0.9\textwidth}{4cm}
\caption{Landscape figure}
\end{sidewaysfigure}

\lipsum[1-2]
\end{document}
