What is the best way to find or predict the association of a given /dev/sd?
with the corresponding /cygdrive/?. Is there a good way to verify the
assignment before writing to the device with dd?
I think this link should help a little:

The POSIX device names are generated from the Windows information/layout
of these devices. So your best bet is to look to Windows to get the
device number <-> drive letter association and then fill in the rest
from there. There is no "one-stop shopping" utility that I know of
that will do all that for you.
