A list of lists of cells is a possible representation for a two-dimensional
array, yes. for bigger maps, there may be a performance problem,
but for such a small world, it should be fine. 

You may consider using an array, e.g. with

  import Data.Array
  type Board = Array (Int, Int) Char 

Boards will be indexed by coordinate tuples.

Another point: maybe you should use an algebraic data type instead of
Char to represent the individual cells? e.g.

  data Cell = Wumpus | Trap | Gold | Nothing
  type Board = [[Cell]]

Be aware of the Wumpus!
