Yep, that's it. The Small Teeth Pass wins the Most Boring Map Area in the Game, hands down. I can't see a single reason these map areas were restricted until Chapter 6, except to make you wait to get a really good Bow.
Then again, the bright side of having nearly unoccupied map areas is that if you're writing a MOD, you've got a good place to set some of the action.
