Pretty sure they are all from Curse of Strahd, so if your definition of canon includes CoS, then yes. Time to revise those maps!

Been comparing this with my map
Don't think the Raven river has been named before
Lake Krezk becomes Lake Baratok and gains an island and Van Richten's tower
Argynvoskholt I could be wrong about this, but could this be the Keep of forgetting? They are in similar positions
I'm wondering why I haven't marked Berez on my map, is this the first gaming product to mention it?
Lake Luna appears to be one of the tributaries of the Luna river, expanded to flood the river valley containing it
Wizard of Wines winery , Yester hill, Tsolenka pass and the Amber Temple are , as far as I know, new locations

I would say that CoS-canon, Dion is right and Five is mistaken. It's something many of us take an issue with but it's very, VERY easy to cut it out of the adventure. You frankly never have to go there.

I'm not mistaken. I was being...defiant. Included simply because it is in print (and the fact that others might like it), redefined out of personal bias.
Some answers end with a question mark...

Alternatives? Oh, I have some too, but let's take it to the Amber Temple thread.

Mentioned in I, Strahd, the War Against Azalin. by "gaming" product, do you mean to exclude novels?

Yes, my maps are based on adventures, sourcebooks etc. but I decided to "ignore" novel locations, unless they are mentioned in the aforementioned gaming products, because of pouring over novels is a lot harder than skimming gazeteers and I've lost a good section of my RL novels over the years, which was never complete anyway.
I suppose I'm just surprised that Berez never made it to an adventure or side bar in a gazeteer, as the possibility of exploring Azalin's abandoned manor house seems to good not to knock up a dungeon for. In fact IMC I moved Azalin's lair to Vallaki, and said that the crypt lair was all that remained of his manor house so my players had somewhere to explore.
