Actually, the debate on "what exactly starts Chapter 5?" is somewhat heated; I know for a fact that I've gotten Chapter 5 to start without opening Davaeorn's chests & taking the documents. As long as you:
A) Kill Davaeorn
B) Read the documents in his storeroom, and
C) Flood the Mines,
Chapter 5 will start and you can enter BG city with no problems.

The Ankheg Farm, the eastern half of the Bridge map, and Ulgoth's Beard are all accessible in Chapter 1. You have to wait until Chapter 5 for the western side of the Bridge, the Zombie Farm, and BG city.
