Underdark Problems:
I've been trying to layer the attached two maps (credit: WotC) for 2 hours. Tried matching coasts, islands, triangulating 2 cities based on references for what they're underneath. Can't get it all to match up.
Are underdark maps just unreliable? @TheEdVerse pic.twitter.com/0KEmoLKkxV

If I may be so bold:
I think the issue is that you’re guessing the coasts will match up, but if you look at any maps of earth’s ocean’s, you’ll see valleys and mountains that are hidden by the water. Match up the NW corner where Icewind Dale is located. When you see how close Icewind Dale and Menzoberrazzan are on each map, it makes sense.

Thank you, Corey. Perfect answer.

You're a damn genius, Dillon. It took me 20m to source a proper 3e Faerun map, but I found one. Fits like a glove.
