Christopher Tolkien explains this feature of the Silmarillion map in HoME XI:
"The geography of the far North is discussed in V.270-2; but since it is impossible to say how my father came to conceive it I discreetly omitted all indication of the Iron Mountains and Thangorodrim from the map drawn for the published Silmarilion."
