If you head over to www.canonfire.com, Anced Math has been working on a Gran March gazetteer. If you ask him, he'll probably provide you with a link to the site where he keeps drafts of various sections of his gazetteer, including awesome maps of Hookhill (designed by Yabusama, I believe). It's all semi-canon, but top quality stuff all the same.

I also run a campaign in the Gran March, and have an introductory powerpoint presentation I use for my players. The Hookhill portion of the presentation is very limited. I used photographs of Carcassonne in France to illustrate Hookhill, and relied heavily on the 2nd AD&D accessory Bastion of Faith to flesh out a Heironean cathedral I set there.

The greatest thing about Hookhill is that, as you pointed out yourself, there is so little canon about the place... so make it your own!

If I recall correctly, all of those sources only mention Hookhill in passing, they don't describe the city or events occurring therein in any detail...

Good luck!
