Apart from the website, I think you'll find a lot of the information you're looking for in the Kalamar Player's Guide. KPG is really the book that does the setting-to-d20 tie-up, while KoK itself is nearly system-independent.

Maps, and in general geographical information beyond cities, very general terrain types and random encounter tables, are a pet peeve of mine as well. Quick now: if you walk into the woods around Geanavue, what kind of forest is that? Can you hunt deer there? Find an oak tree? Belladonna?

What is strong about the setting is the history and the current politics. Also, there's quite a range of possible campaign types, depending on where you set the campaign and how you decide to fill in the blanks.

Of course, that does mean that you have to fill in the blanks, which may or may not be what you were looking for.

Finally, to really get all the info, you need several books; this may be an obstacle for some.

Mostly, I like it.
