I've seen someone speculate where Blackmoor was on the DOMESDAY BOOK map but besides Greyhawk and the Great Kingdom what else was there to include on that?

I was under the impression that the whole map was “The Great Kingdom,” so that’s not even a feature in and of itself.
I’m thinking it might be useful to re-read for clues The Gnome Cache, Quag Keep, and The Quest for the Vermillion Volume.

Here's an old quote from Gary, which is the basis for the placement of Blackmoor. It mentions some other campaigns, but does not detail them. Gary once told me that the Great Kingdom was where New York would be, which matches where he placed the kingdom of Grandmark on the Aerth map.

Heres a video I made of where everything seems compared to a heavily graphicked version I made of the old map. I just pegged landmarks that I thought were similar and let it fly from there. If you stare at it with idea that Blackmoor is in the Northeast and Robilar is to the immediate East in that patch of forest (Gnarley according to their argument that I got stuck in the middle of) then you see that Blackmoor in WOG 1980 isn't part of this animated flow. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bF7Bfzhe7zg&feature=youtu.be

Alright this is a better version the upload destroyed the last video's speed: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAUTWDS9Z0g&feature=youtu.beIf you stare at the animation over and over long enough you can the see Valley of the Mage in there is pretty intact as well as the locales of Tsojcanth, Tharizdun and the OC in the "Yatils". The Great Kingdom/Nyrond/Iron League seem to be the biggest expansion but Keoland seems almost as solid an area as the Sea of Dust.
