GDG- Maps of Gettysburg: Question over Caldwell's route

Received /my/ copy of the book yesterday - it does indeed look fabulous.
The first thing I looked into were the maps corresponding to the Peach
Orchard action, and then looked at the Wheatfield ones, and noticed
something that looked strange to me -
I was under the impression that Caldwell took his division into the
Wheatfield from the northeast of that area (forming in Trostle's woods)
- yet on page 169 (map 17.3) it shows his division coming from the
/west/ via the Wheatfield road (looking like the division came down the
Emmitsburg Road and took a left onto the Wheatfield road).
Has anybody any thoughts on this?
Thanks,
Alan
