Episode 38 gives more clues. Kings crossing is situated near an undead infested swamp in an area of interest to the Westryn Elves, because it is near a rift with a world of undead in "Westryn lands" which only they know about.
That sounds very much like The Blood Wood. The blood wood is a wood once inhabited by Westryn but now overrun with undead. It's a likely place for this rift. The Blood Wood is not on any map as far as I can see but it is "above" Boggy Bottom and near enough to "influence" Pelham wood.
So North of Boggy Bottom and west of Pelham wood puts the Blood Wood near where the "Faery Road" and "Hell Road" meet. These roads are a little different between maps, but on the d20/4e map it looks like it would fit in the Y between these two roads.
There is a good bit of swamp shown on the DAB map along Trog Lake and in the area where Dave L has Kenville.
So the best fit to me for Kings crossing looks like the North shore of Trog lake/West bank of the Root river where there is plenty of swamp, fairly close to the Blood Wood.
Taking the "crossing" part of the name as a further clue, it would make sense if Kings Crossing is situated on the west bank of the Root river exactly where the Feary road continues after being interrupted by the river. It's attraction as a place for a new town then can be tied to the fact that it is situated at an important river crossing on the road to Kenville and Boggy Bottom.
That still puts it geographically about halfway between Newgate and Vestfold, more or less.
