These are some good suggestions, particularly because you're reminding me that there should be things that pull PCs into the wilderness, beyond just possibility of grabbing some farmland.

Fae portals could be interesting, though I feel like as-is DFRPG doesn't have enough examples of hostile fae (though I could take a second gander at the Nordlond books, which emphasize fae a lot). As for minefields/booby traps, I should come up with some good examples of magical traps / curses that make sense to place on a wide area. Unless I want to go with literal minefields, like the TL4 land mine in
Low-Tech.
