I would recommend you to save your areas as bookmarks, that way you have 
easy access to previous areas. The problem you describe with finding 
your area is something that is only difficult until you have the proper 
bookmarks I guess.

The bookmark file itself is located at
GNU/Linux:
  ~/.josm

Windows:
Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\JOSM\
