To follow Rowland Oakes’ map in Hogwarts Legacy, you must leave his camp through the entrance and then head to the right along the river.
You will need to follow the river past the rock formation, crooked tree, and crumbling tower, in that order, before you reach Korrow Ruins, where Rowland Oakes is being held.
You can also use your broom to follow the river down to the Korrow Ruins Floo Flame, which is located to the left of the Korrow Ruins entrance. This will make traveling back and forth much easier.
Getting through the Korrow Ruins is tough as it is filled with a number of Goblins. Fortunately, if you get stuck, there are plenty of other side quests in Hogwarts Legacy that will reward you with powerful loot to help you take on these Goblins.
