Do you mean like this? Ed Greenwood Presents Elminster's Forgotten Realms - WikipediaWhat I wouldn’t give to buy a copy of the history of the realms that greenwood uses in his home campaign. His version of the realms. I would kill for it.
Its a pity we'll probubly now never see what the moonshae was originally intended to look like.On the Sage Advice page, there's a close-up picture of the Moonshaes, where you can see how it was a later addition taped kver the original map. You can even see the blue shore outlines of the original islands under the taped-on section!

Id be curious how much Ed Greenwood detailed of the Realms while actually playing and running games in it before selling it to TSR? I think the majority of his games took place in Waterdeep/Undermountain or the Dales. I wouldnt be surprised if alot of it was detailed for Dragon/Polyhedron and then TSR books after and never played in. He most likely drew out the whole map at some point but I doubt every location was fleshed out more than a very basic idea.
