Quiz: Greyhawk Location Hunt

Alright Greymaniacs, it's a slow week (and Election Day in the States) so I've got a good time killer for you. It's a simple map search. As most fans should know, the World of Greyhawk maps feature a unique set of coordinates along the top, bottom and sides that aid in finding locations on the hexagonal based map. These coordinates are similar to those found in old school road maps. For younger readers, road maps were from the dark ages before the internet and GPS. Anyhoo, the game goes like this: I supply the coordinates and with your vast knowledge and collection of Greyhawk, you tell me what is at that hex in the comments section. Easy enough, or is it? Good luck!

Find
H-67
V3-131
J6-163
F5-88
B3-44
N2-81

Update 05/08/2021: Strange. No one played and I have no idea what the answers are without looking at a map. This game is still anyone's to win!

So Mike, we're supposed to look the hex coordinates up, or not to look them up on the maps when we answer the Qs??

That is corect grodog. It's easy to follow the coordinates but depending on which version of the map you're using you may/may not know the name of what is on the hex.
