Maps of Torkeep in the Shield Lands

Quick Greyhawk question -- does anyone know if there were any maps of Torkeep in the Shield Lands ever published? Or adventures set in/around there?

I wasn't able to find any maps, but I did find this:

Torkeep

Torkeep (Village): Conventional; AL LG; 200 gp limit; Population 750; Mixed (77% human, 8% halfling, 5% elf, 5% half-orc, 2% dwarf, 2% gnome, 1% half-elf).
Authority Figure: Lord Franz Torkeep, Count of Torkeep, Knight Bannerette of the Knights of the Holy Shielding.

It seems it was a part of the Living Greyhawk Campaign, and reflects events from that... But I think it still could be of some use.

I found it here: http://home.comcast.net/~burningewoks/dnd/Shield_Lands_Settlements.htm

There is a lot of information regarding Lord Franz Torkeep himself, over at Cannofire.com

Thanks for that. I believe you're right about it coming from the LG campaign -- probably around 595 CY or thereabouts as in addition to Torkeep they've reclaimed several major settlements (Gensal, Southkeep, and even Admundfort); Dungeon 113's notes on Franz seem to similarly be from around 594 CY.

I'm looking at the situation around 590 CY (as depicted in the LG Gazetteer, so when only Critwall & Bright Sentry have been reclaimed), and while I can obviously homebrew it all, if there are details (LG or otherwise) I'd rather use them as a starting point -- particularly for Torkeep itself.

Unfortunately the LG campaign was restricted by real-world geography so I saw very little of the Shield Lands material that was published (beyond what was put on the region's website, which while useful obviously didn't include the adventures). As far as I'm aware WotC never made the adventures generally available.

Between the LGG, Canonfire, and a couple of other sources most of the generic, high-level info is covered; I'm just wondering if there are any specifics out there beyond the LG region-specific material that was never made public.

Thanks anyway.

There may have been a gazateer written for the region and that may be around still, or someone may have a copy. If it appeared in a regional mod, it may be detailed there.

The ownership of the LG mods is a mess. In many cases, the adventures were written without a contract with WotC, and are owned by the authors. Yet, the materials include proper nouns that originated in IP owned by WotC.
