That's the great thing about this module. There's no concrete location specified.
And the area map covers such a tiny area (something like a 5 mile radius wasn't it?) of generic terrain that you can point to virtually any spot on a map & say "There." Bonus points if you actually put it near the border of something.

When The Grand Duchy of Karameikos edition of the Gazetteer series was published, the Keep was given a specific location in the Known World of Mystara, in the Atlan Tepe Mountain region in northern Karameikos.

From Wikipedia

I checked Amazon.com, the cheapest used copy of The Grand Duchy of Karameikos edition of the Gazetteer was $150. If anyone has a copy, could they look it up and post what town or city is downstream? Where does the road go to?

If you decide that "North" is placed wrongly, KotB can be anywhere you want, as long as you have an organized nation on one side of the river and untamed wilderness / monster-inhabited lands on the other side.

I've always liked that the module is generic enough to be in ANY campaign world - including one you build out from that 'center' yourself.
