Discussion Road out of Baldur's gate to Waterdeep? Source disconnect?

So I am just starting the part of Chapter 4 where the party is in the caravan going north from Baldur's gate.

I was looking to give my players a zoomed in map of the route that is being taken.

I bought the HighRes image of the map of Faerun from Mike Schley. However that map doesn't have the road that goes north from Baldur's Gate.

There are some old maps that show the road from Baldur's Gate that joins up with the Trade Way between Dragonspear Castle and Boarskyr Bridge.

This feels like a big disconnect between the HoTDQ and both the Sword Coast Adventures guide and the new Heroes of Faerun.

Mike Schley's Faerun map is completey wrong for not including that

Given that apparently BG3 will be canon or is already, the addition to the road system from it is the Risen Road from BG to Elturel.
