Please note the map provided is not official and does not represent any particular part of the world. I don’t know how the land of the Nephites actually looks. I did pour over several maps, scripture references, etc., and made my best guess of what things might look like. Here are some great references if you want to dig a little deeper:
BYU Studies Charting the Book of Mormon (see charts 150-160)
BYU Virtual Scriptures Book of Mormon Map (You can download the virtual map program and click on a book to see what locations are mentioned in that book)
and, of course, the Book of Mormon and scripture study helps.
Some things we do know for sure. For example, it took 12 days to get to Zarahemla from the city of Helam. We also know that the city of Nephi was in a valley and near the Waters of Mormon. The River Sidon flowed through Zarahemla. Bountiful was north of Zarahemla and near the narrow neck of land. Hill Cumorah was not very far from Bountiful, etc. The question is, did the Nephites have to go around mountains and lakes or was it a direct path? How far did they travel in a day? What does traveling for many days mean? I only highlighted select cities that I had enough information to map.

Celebrate the sweetest story ever told, one tiny treat at a time.
Turn everyday candies into thoughtful Christmas gifts, a daily scripture countdown, or a family Christmas Eve devotional. Our Nativity Candy Circles attach to wrapped treats like Hershey’s Kisses, Rolos, and miniature Reese’s peanut butter cups, adding a reminder of Jesus Christ to each little bite.
For a countdown, include one of each picture and choose a candy at random each day, December 1–24. Match the picture to the scripture guide and read about the Savior’s birth, life, and mission. For a Christmas devotional, use the separate numbered Nativity guide to assign readings and share the Christmas story together.
Or simply fill a mug, jar, treat bag, or stocking with decorated candies. No counting required! Add a matching gift tag for neighbors, teachers, friends, or the families you minister to.
