There really isn't a way within the current framework of D&D to model the Ranger being good at exploration other than through skills. For some reason Rogues can get Expertise at Survival and Perception and Barbarians can (assuming the variant feature from UA made it into publication) but Rangers still can't unless they use optional game features to take feats or multiclass.
If there were real exploration rules then the ranger could be plugged into them in some way - but even then it's going to be an issue because lots of games would probably never use those rules.
