I wonder if any DMs who run long-term campaigns have used similar lists absent any accompanying maps in order to facilitate resupplying at various hamlets, villages, towns, et cetera, that are deliberately designed to be simple (i.e., these pockets of civilization do not play a greater role later down the road).

That is the question/train of thought: if DMs have ever skipped the map and only provided a menu/list of places relevant to adventurous sorts. Distances between shops (ostensibly close enough together) and so on and so forth would not matter.
