I saw this on Reddit - r/skyrim. It's pretty cool but I suspect it's just might be Bethesda making the map as believable as possible.

In the elder scrolls universe there would have to be SOME kind of path or road that connected Skyrim to Morrowind - it would be not very believable if Skyrim was completely surrounded by mountains just so they could keep the player within the confines of Skyrim. I believe that path to Morrowind is there to make the continent seem a little more believable.
