And if we're going to be canonical about the landscape along the Gwathlo, let's also be canonical about the kinds of roads the Numenoreans and Dunedain would have made. I don't think they would have a dirt road that would be subject to this kind of flooding - would they?

It is canonical that they had the roads built on causeways. (It means also that to go not by a causeway in this area was really difficult - why should they bother to built causeways otherwise?)

One good road should have connected Tharbad with Lond Daer.

BUT Lond Daer is on the South bank of the Gwathlo! So the road there should be on the South bank as well! I posted this info at least twice in this thread, but still Shah decided to follow the North bank. So, sorry, no road there!
