You're quite right Mouth,

but Gandalf commented that few in Gondor had the skill to read Isildur's records any more, and maybe the exact location of Rivendell had been deliberately left vague - it was supposed to be a hidden fastness after all.

More recently (only 1500 or so years ago!) Gondorian troops had been allied with Elrond in the defeat of the Witchking, but 1500 years is a long time, and 3000 even more so.
