Articles
This section provides a link to our introductory article, An Approach to the Book of Mormon Geography, and links to supplementary articles that expand on geographical topics introduced in this leading article. It is recommended that the introductory article be read first.
The Narrow Strip of Wilderness
Spatial Features, Orientation and Recorded Journeys The narrow neck of land between the land northward and the land southward is possibly the most prominent geographical feature in the mental maps of Book of Mormon readers.
The River Sidon
A Key to Unlocking Book of Mormon Lands =Alma baptized in its waters. Armies crossed it multiple times in a single battle. Hills and valleys flanked its banks. The cities of Zarahemla and Gideon were positioned on opposite sides of its course.
Your proposed river Sidon is not flowing northward. Why is this contrary to what is portrayed on many Book of Mormon maps?
Yes, this is true on both counts. Our proposed river Sidon, the Rio San Ignacio, does not flow northward. And we also hasten to point out that we have found no clear evidence in the Book of Mormon account that indicates which direction the river of Sidon flows. |
