Commentaries (view it on a map)

ALMA 6:16 [8:13]: Now when the people had said this, and had withstood all his words, and reviled him, and spit upon him, and caused that he should be cast out of their city, he departed thence and took his journey towards the city which was called Aaron. Commentary: This verse references the places of Aaron and Ammonihah. 'He' is Alma. Alma had arrived at Ammonihah from the land of Melek. By making a point of traveling towards a place that he did not come from generates an assumption that the city of Aaron is not in the same direction from Ammonihah as the land of Melek. This verse identifies that Aaron is a city.

ALMA 22:15 [50:14]: And they also began a foundation for a city between the city of Moroni and the city of Aaron, joining the borders of Aaron and Moroni; and they called the name of the city, or the land, Nephihah.

Commentary: This verse references the places of Aaron, Moroni, Nephihah, and the Sea East. The city of Nephihah (and the land of Nephihah) is between the city of Moroni and the city of Aaron. The phrase 'joining the borders of Aaron and Moroni' means that Aaron and Moroni are also 'lands' and all three lands were connected border-to-border. The phrase 'city, or the land, Nephihah' confirms the practice of giving both the primary city and the land the same name. The land of Moroni is on the Sea East shore. The land of Nephihah is near, but not on the Sea East shore. This means that the land of Aaron is likely not on the Sea East shore, but is inland. That the lands shared borders and the land of Moroni is by the Sea East indicates the lands of Aaron and Nephihah were in the general proximity of the Sea East.
