Cthulhudrew’s Cathos and Vacros v2, 8 miles per hex
In mid 1999 Andrew created two maps showing options for placing the islands from MSOLO2 Maze of the Riddling Minotaur, Cathos and Vacros.
This second map places the two isles in the Thanegioth Archipelago, with Cathos being the large island west of the Isle of Dread, and Vacros a small island northwest of that. The idea of course was to use existing islands rather than adding new islands to the map.
Later fan-made maps proposed yet more options, most notably Michele Carpita’s in November 2005.
Fan-made Map by Andrew Theisen (June 1999)
This is an original map created by one of Mystara’s excellent fan cartographers. For more information on the cartographer, including a gallery of all their maps, see also Appendix M: Mappers of Mystara.

Chronological Analysis
This is a fan-made map. It was published in 1999. The updated Atlas version of this map is not yet available. See also Appendix C for annual chronological snapshots of the area. For the full context of this map in Mystara’s publication history, see the upcoming Let’s Map Mystara 1999. (Please note that it may be some time before the project reaches this point.)
The following lists are from the Let’s Map Mystara project. Additions are new features, introduced in this map; Revisions are changes to previously-introduced features; Hex Art & Fonts track design elements; and finally Textual Additions are potential features found in the related text. In most cases, the Atlas adopts these textual additions into updated and chronological maps.

The Sagard map in book 3 have an Isle of Dread, an Isle of Despair, an Isle of Hope, and an Isle of Gold in the Crimson Sea. These are north of the Isles of Dread. These appear to no relation to the X1 Isle of Dread and its neighboring islands. I see there are names for them on this map:
