How well does Blackmoor MMRPG line up with Living Greyhawk?

I believe it actually does. Not sure how Mr. Arneson used it since (presumably) he had the environs outside Castle Blackmoor mapped out early on. Like I said, I would think it could be used for the area 'beyond the borders of the map'. I'm not actually even sure how Mr. Gygax used it, though I suppose The City of Greyhawk was represented as the one city along the river (with Castle Greyhawk being in the same hex).

I believe the way this worked in Arneson's campaign was that once they reached the outskirts of the heartlands Arneson already mapped out, they started using the map Keolander links to. Once they reached the edge of that map, a new identical map appeared and this could theoretically go on forever.
