I searched a bit on Canonfire!, and on google sited to CF!, Erik, and did have much luck. Do you recall offhand if the hexes on the Dungeon maps are in the same positions/orientation/etc. as they were on Darlene's folio/83/FTA maps?

No they aren't. I just did a quick check on the Adventure Locales listed in the World of Greyhawk Glossography (pg. 30) and its first entry lists Slave Pits of the Undercity in Highport at hex A4-101 (For those who don't know- the A4 refers to the vertical row and 101 is the diagonal row going down and right). On the Dungeon magazine maps, Highport is at N3-116. To check another I did the reverse and found the Tomb of Horrors on the Dungeon map- it's at U1-111. The Glossography lists it at K2-97.

If you want I could list the rest of the 21 locales from the Glossography and then TRY to find them in the Dungeon maps.

Fox, that is extremely helpful, thank you.

I've now gone through the Dungeon map and located all the dungeons on it. I'll amalgamate our lists in due course but there are still some loose ends to tie up.

For one thing, I don't have a complete run of Dungeon, nor do I own any 2e modules (except for the silver anniversary ones), so I haven't yet identified the modules or Dungeon adventures that featured these dungeons. Any light that EN Worlders can shed would be most gratefully appreciated.

Hi Erik. Thanks very much for the map. T'is fantastic. Even if you did put a couple of places slap in the middle of a hex edge...

Okay, here are the dungeons not listed by FoxWander...

Valadis K4-136
Egg of Coot B4-69
Wegwiur Thralls B4-79
Waterwall B4-84
The Temple of Elemental Evil Z3-112
Vale of the Bite Y3-71
The Swirlers X3-77
Soul Husk Caverns V3-77
Drenghuz U3-76
Bronzeblood Haunt U3-102
Castle Greyhawk Q3/P3-102
Dungeon of Bleeding Walls N3-64
Folly K3-64
Tomb of Ygrax's Hands J3-65
Icegate E3-62
Nerull's Bane E3-71
Hellstone X2-79
Garel Enkdal L2-59
Crystal Springs Q2-83
Howling Chasm I2-131
Ziggurat of Black H2-129
Skrellingshold B2-50
Spikenrift I1-87/88
Gaborren's Rift G1-88
Copper Cavern B1-77

Dungeons or adventure locations not shown on the map (but kindly located by FoxWander) include the G and D series locales (except for the Vault of the Drow), Suderham and Drachen's Keep from the Slavers series (not even the 'vast lake' is depicted on the map, as far as I can see) and the Forbidden City from I1, which the module explains is in an unmapped part of a tropical jungle.

As I said, I'd be grateful for any help identifying the adventures that contain the dungeons listed here, so if anything rings a bell, please tell.

When I get more time, I'll determine the Darlene map coordinates of everything on this list.

Thanks.
 

One last thing- based on the description the Lost City of the Suloise would be approximately at W3-116 of the Dungeon Map. Probably near the southwest corner of that hex according to the specific description, "Several days travel northwest of Badwall, they happened upon a number of tumbled stone buildings on a wooded ridge set amid a swamp bordering the Jewel River."
