I think the creator of that map had some good creative thoughts about the way Beleriand was located in relation to the rest of Middle Earth. But I believe it was located more north and west of middle earth in the 3rd age. I mean when Feanor left Fingolfin and his following they had to cross the "Helarax" (I dont know if that is right it has been a while). But when they crossed the Grinding Ice to me the land of Beliriand had to located higher north. And Beleriand is not that big in the way I perceive it.
Well those are just my two cents.
