I believe this is correct. Not the whole of Blackmoor, but the southern region seems to have been patterned after that map. Apparently, a widespread idea among early gamers was also that once you had reached the southern border of that map, therere would be an identical map appearing, thus providing an endless area to adventure on. I dont know if the Blackmoor map used it that way or not.
Does anyone have the scan of that map? It used to be circulating around various boards...
