Actually back when I first read the book I made a simple map based on the map description given by the sorcerer near the beginning of the book. My intent was to try to mimic the "orignal" Gygax gaming experience as closely as possible with just what was provided in QK and the original rules. I even did write-ups on the characters from the book. Alas, my game group at the time had zero interest, so it became another almost-campaign to store away.
I think that the main importance of Quag Keep was that it was written by not just any author, but one recognized as being the most influential in the field at the time. She was invited to play and the game sparked something inside of her to create in her own way. Also, just as noteworthy, D&D at the time was considered the territory of college and high school aged males. Ms. Norton was not only female, but already around sixty when she became interested in the game, proving that it had appeal across gender and age lines.

Agreed. I've been thinking of making a crude map as well, and it would be interesting to see what you came up with (if you happen to find it).
