So I just got an alert that caravans can't get to my trade depot. I checked with the D command and low and behold all of the land except the land inside the walls is inaccessible. Does anyone have any idea why?

[JAFANZ]

Wagons need a path from the Depot to the map edge on which they arrive that is never less than 3-urists wide.

Trees & "boulders" can block these paths.

However, since you said "all of the land except the land inside the walls" I'm guessing you don't have a wide enough entry passage, or if you do, you decided to protect it with traps, which also block wagon access (the Elven caravan should be fine I think).

And another thing: wagons can't drive on stairs, you need ramps for them.

[Charlylimph]

The caravans have been traveling fine this far. I do have a wide enough path and no stair leading to the depot.

If the path got broken, there's something in the way. Check the area where it switches between accessible and inaccessible. Traps and freshly-grown trees are especially common ways wagon paths get blocked. If you can't spot anything, you could post a screenshot.

So how come the cage traps did not get in the way before but they do now?

[Quietust]

Cage traps started blocking wagons back in version 0.34.08 when minecarts (and track stops) were added.

[Sirbug]

Trees like to randomly grow and block the path. You better arrange paved roads across the soil, if you live in the forest.

[Garath]

The traps only block wagons. If before you only had the elf caravan, you wouldn't get that message
