Matching the narrow strip of wilderness in Baja California to the Book of Mormon travel accountsAs we have shown, all 13 of these journeys can be matched to locations in the narrow strip of wilderness of central Baja California, while conforming to the scale and shape of the land, the orientation to the cardinal directions of north, east, south and west, the nature of the wilderness terrain and the vegetation and climate characteristics as portrayed in the Book of Mormon. The corresponding travel routes are not only physically challenging, but with the same difficulties as described in the Book of Mormon accounts. And travelers can get “lost” and disoriented in the rugged terrain. This wilderness presented trials and adversities for the Jesuit fathers when they created trails connecting their small mission settlements, not unlike those faced by the Book of Mormon people. And this area of Baja California is wilderness all the way from north to south and east to west.
