From top to bottom, left to right: external side view of the fortress (note the suspended balcony in front), larger cross-section view from side — I presume the double-height room marked with a cross represents a chapel, although I'm not sure I'd thought through the question of religion! — sketch view apparently from the mountain side of the building, and cross-section view from directly in front.
Presumably one could trace the locations mentioned in the small portion of the text actually written; the stairs at the back of the entrance hall ("the wide dim stairway at its far end") certainly make an appearance! Completing the gamebook would have involved writing at least one scene for every location and probably involved a more detailed floorplan for each level.
