This can be handled by using tracks, signs of combat, strategically placed corpses, sound and/or air movement, interesting architectural features, etc.The last dungeon I ran like that was a multi-level dwarven mine that had probably over 20 detailed locations, of which the players were likely to see a dozen or so - for the rest of it, I just had a vague outline, to be used if they decided to go off exploring on a whim.</blockquote>
