Location question of the town of Leilon

I noticed on the map of the sword coast, the town of Leilon shows inland right on The High Road. In the 'Storm Lord's Wrath' and 'Sleeping Dragon's Wake' modules the town maps show it on the coast or at least near water. I was wondering how other people may of resolved this difference. In the past I just made Leilon a large frontier town pretty much land locked other then it being 5 or so miles from the Mere of Dead Men which was a jump off point for anyone heading to the Mere. Most of my FR lore was from 2nd Edition so maybe I missed something going to 5th. 

Thanks for any input

It has been a while since I played something near there.  Lost contact with my Forgotten Realms DM a while ago.  We played one with a river or a marsh in it.  This looks to be pretty much landlocked.  It had been quite a bit inland in our adventure.  Took an hour to walk to the coast so 5 miles is decent time for that

I just ran into this situation as well when looking at the maps around Phandalin. There is Leilon Point which is marked as by the sea on the maps. Yet, Leilon is distinctly marked inland on the maps, but has docks on the town map. Peculiar indeed. 
So, I think I'm just scrapping the docks.

It’s definitely not that far inland.

My “fix” for the map is that the dot marks the spot where you turn off the high road to get to Leilon, which is a coastal city built on a marshy section of shoreline.

The water off the docks at Leilon isn’t deep enough to bring large ships in, but relatively flat-bottomed barges have no problem setting sail directly from the city out past the islands.

Your very first encounter in Leilon is with a Kraken Priest summoning water elementals to attack fishermen on islands. It’s definitely coastal.
