It might seem a little anomolous but it's consistent with our style.
We've always omitted the articles from the noun glosses where possible (for space reasons). The 絹の道/シルクロード entries have only been "Silk Road". When adding extra information, often in parentheses, we've abbreviated where possible, but otherwise used grammatical English. Hence "precursor to the Silk Road" - dropping "the" from that would be odd.

Isn't it weird to have "the Silk Road" but "Steppe Route" without the article in the same gloss?
