Definitely!
Old ruins and crumbled statues make for fascinating landscape features and may easily mark the entrance of dungeons of old as well.
A few things to keep in mind:
The Mage Wars ocurred before the Egg of Coot flooded the land, meaning that the Black Sea was much smaller back then.
The Duchy of Ten had not been settled yet, and was probably just wilderness.
Similarly, Blackmoor's New Lands (Newgate, Dragonia) and Outlands (Fel and Dukane) had not yet been established. I'm not even sure if Gloomey should be around at that point.
So what you will have is more wilderness back then. OTOH, you could have had other realms that were destroyed during the Mage Wars pretty much anywhere on the map.
Some locations from the Wizards Cabal:
Raddan Goss's Stronghold (The Arcane Dominium): although I don't think it is explicitly stated, my assumption is that Raddan ruled Blackmoor.
Vadaley Family Stronghold: This could be anywhere, though my working theory is that it was in the Duchy of the Peaks.
Archlis: Skelfer came from Archlis. The town was destroyed, but presumably rebuilt after the mage wars.
Skelfer's Secret Lab: My theory is that Skelfer's Lab was in the current location of Cloudtop. It only makes sense that the current most powerful mage in the world, Robert the Bald, would have built his tower in the same site, perhaps continuing Skelfer's research.
Ordo Elementarum Stronghold: Currently the Bloodwoods (my theory)
The two unnamed factions: Erak & Maus?
The "Bystanders": Bramwald, Ramsgate, Archlis?
Quincke's Village: Which village Christoph Quicke came from is not known, but perhaps the current location of Glendower could work?
