Book of Mormon Geography Internal Map

The Sea West is westward of all places. The lands near the Sea West shore are the land northward and the lands of Jordan, Boaz, Teancum, Desolation, Bountiful, and Joshua. Also by the Sea West shore is the narrow pass and the city beyond the city of Antiparah. The narrow neck runs from the Sea East to the Sea West. The South Wilderness borders the Sea West. The Promised Land (Ether) and the Promised Land (I Nephi) were on the Sea West shore.

I NEPHI 5:181 [18:8]: We did put forth into the sea, and were driven forth before the wind, towards the promised land;

Commentary: This verse references the places of Bountiful (Old World), the Promised Land (I Nephi), the sea Irreantum, and the West Sea. The term 'we' refers to Lehi and his people. Lehi put forth into the sea Irreantum at the place Bountiful. Since the landing in the Promised Land (I Nephi) is on the eastern side of the Sea West, the place Bountiful would be on the western side of the Sea West, west of the Promised Land (I Nephi).

ALMA 13:68 [22:27]: And it came to pass that the king sent a proclamation throughout all the land, amongst all his people who were in all his land, who were in all the regions round about, which was bordering even to the sea, on the east, and on the west, and which was divided from the land of Zarahemla by a narrow strip of wilderness,

Commentary: This verse references the places of Nephi, the Sea East, the Sea West, the South Wilderness, and the wilderness between Nephi and Zarahemla. The term 'king' refers to King Lamoni who was in the land of Nephi at this time. The Sea West and the Sea East bordered the region about the land of Nephi. The phrase 'narrow strip of wilderness' refers to the South Wilderness. This verse places the South Wilderness between the land of Nephi and the land of Zarahemla. Since the South Wilderness is a narrow strip, this does not seem to correspond to the many days required to travel through the wilderness between the land of Nephi and the land of Zarahemla.

ALMA 13:69 [22:27]: Which ran from the sea east, even to the sea west, and round about on the borders of the sea-shore, and the borders of the wilderness which was on the north, by the land of Zarahemla, through the borders of Manti, by the head of the river Sidon, running from the east towards the west; and thus were the Lamanites and the Nephites divided.

Commentary: This verse references the places of Manti, Nephi, the headwaters of the river Sidon, the Sea East, the Sea West, the wilderness around Zarahemla, and Zarahemla. This verse further describes the region controlled by King Lamoni who was in the city of Nephi. The phrase 'which ran from the sea east, even to the sea west' refers to the region controlled by King Lamoni as extending from the Sea East to the Sea West. The phrase 'wilderness which was on the north' indicates a wilderness around the land of Zarahemla and that the land of Zarahemla is north of the possessions of the Lamanites. This verse is describing the area on the westward portion of the lands of the Nephites and Lamanites, so the wilderness by the land of Zarahemla would be generally on the westward side of the land of Zarahemla. The land of Manti is by the headwaters of river Sidon.

ALMA 13:71 [22:28]: Yea, and also on the west of the land of Zarahemla, in the borders, by the sea-shore, and on the west, in the land of Nephi, in the place of their fathers' first inheritance, and thus bordering along by the sea-shore.

Commentary: This verse references the places of Nephi, the Promised Land (I Nephi), the Sea West, and Zarahemla. This verse is describing the locations of idle Lamanites. The borders by the seashore were west of Zarahemla and on or near the sea (Sea West). They were also in the west parts of the land of Nephi all the way to the Sea West shore. The place of their father's first inheritance, the Promised Land (I Nephi), is located on the Sea West shore.

ALMA 13:74 [22:30]: And it bordered upon the land which they called Desolation; it being so far northward, that it came into the land which had been peopled, and been destroyed, of whose bones we have spoken, which was discovered by the people of Zarahemla; it being the place of their first landing. And they came from there up into the south wilderness.

Commentary: This verse references the places of Bountiful, Desolation, the narrow neck, Nephi, the Promised Land (I Nephi), the Sea West, and the South Wilderness. The term 'it' refers to the northern parts of the land mentioned in Alma 13:73 [22:29]. The northern parts of the land bordered the land Desolation and the land Bountiful. The phrase 'it came into the land which had been peopled, and been destroyed, of whose bones we have spoken' refers to the people described in the Book of Ether (the Jaredites). The Jaredites lived in the lands in the narrow neck indicating that the northern parts of the land extended to the narrow neck. This also places the land Desolation next to lands of the Jaredites in the narrow neck. This verse does not define the location of the bones, just where the people (the Jaredites) lived whose bones were found in the Land Cumorah. The phrase 'it being the place of their first landing' is the description of the Promised Land (I Nephi) and indicates that Lehi landed on the Sea West shore near the land Desolation. The phrase 'came from there up into the south wilderness' describes the journey in II Nephi 4:10 [5:7] of Nephi and his people from the Promised Land (I Nephi) to the land of Nephi which required traveling through the South Wilderness. The phrase 'up into' indicates the South Wilderness is higher in elevation than the Promised Land (I Nephi), a somewhat obvious reference since the Promised land (I Nephi) was on the seashore. But, it does show consistency in the use of the term 'up' to indicate a higher terrain elevation.

ALMA 13:76 [22:32]: And now it was only the distance of a day and a half's journey for a Nephite, on the line Bountiful, and the land Desolation, from the east to the west sea;

Commentary: This verse references the places of Bountiful, Desolation, the narrow neck, the Sea East, and the Sea West. This verse does not directly mention the Sea East. The literal interpretation is that a Nephite can journey from a point on the east to the Sea West in a day and a half. This verse also does not infer that the Nephite is traveling by foot or that the point on the east is the Sea East. Parts of the journey could have been made by canoe on a river. Refer to Appendix D for notable world records for running and paddling. Given the conditions for the Nephite were not as optimal as the record setting conditions, the maximum distance expressed by this verse is no more than about 200 miles.

ALMA 13:78 [22:33]: And it came to pass that the Nephites had inhabited the land Bountiful, even from the east unto the west sea,

Commentary: This verse references the places of Bountiful, Desolation, the Sea East, and the Sea West. The land Bountiful was in control by the Nephites. They were living on the line between the land Bountiful and land Desolation, from the Sea West to a point east. The term 'east' refers to a point on the east and does not directly refer to the Sea East.

ALMA 22:8 [50:8]: And the land of Nephi did run in a straight course from the east sea to the west.

Commentary: This verse references the places of Nephi, the Sea East, and the Sea West. This verse describes the general shape of the land of Nephi. A 'straight course' means a straight line. This implies the shape of the land of Nephi is oblong and was longer along the east-west axis than the north-south axis. It does not refer directly to the West Sea. It also does not directly state that the land of Nephi ran from the east sea to a point on the west, but rather the course (the line) ran from the Sea East to a point on the west.

ALMA 22:11 [50:11]: And thus he cut off all the strongholds of the Lamanites, in the east wilderness: yea, and also on the west, fortifying the line between the Nephites and the Lamanites, between the land of Zarahemla and the land of Nephi; from the west sea, running by the head of the river Sidon;

Commentary: This verse references the places of Manti, Nephi, river Sidon, the headwaters of the river Sidon, the Sea West, the East Wilderness, and Zarahemla. The line between the Nephites and Lamanites ran from the West Sea past the headwaters of the river Sidon to the East Wilderness. This puts the headwaters of the river Sidon between the land of Nephi and the land of Zarahemla. The land of Manti is near the headwaters of the river Sidon, so the land of Manti is also between the land of Nephi and the land of Zarahemla.

ALMA 22:35 [50:34]: And it came to pass that they did not head them, until they had come to the borders of the land Desolation: and there they did head them, by the narrow pass which led by the sea into the land northward; yea, by the sea, on the west, and on the east.

Commentary: This verse references the places of Desolation, the land northward, the narrow pass, the Sea East, and the Sea West. The term 'they' refers to an army sent by Moroni to stop Morianton and his people from going to the land northward. The term 'them' refers to Morianton and his people. Morianton was coming from the land of Morianton and moving towards the land Desolation. The land Desolation is by the Sea West, so the phrase 'narrow pass which led by the sea' indicates the narrow pass is also by the Sea West. The phrase 'yea, by the sea' modifies the object directly in front of the term 'yea'. So, the land northward is by the sea. The phrase 'on the west, and on the east' is difficult to interpret. On the one hand, phrases after a 'yea' term describe the phrases in front of the 'yea' term. So, 'by the sea' describes 'the land northward'. The phrase 'on the west' describes 'they did head them' indicating they were headed on the west parts of the land. The phrase 'on the east' describes 'the borders of the land Desolation' indicating the eastern border of the land Desolation. The phraseology in the Book of Mormon is not conclusive about how to interpret clauses that are not immediately in front or behind a 'yea' term. The phrase 'on the west, and on the east' could also mean that Teancum had split his army into a west part and an east part to protect the entire entrance to the narrow pass. Neither interpretation really contradicts the other nor adds unique information about the relative locations of the geography.

ALMA 23:39 [51:32]: And it came to pass that Teancum and his men did pitch their tents in the borders of the land Bountiful; and Amalickiah did pitch his tents in the borders on the beach by the sea-shore, and after this manner were they driven.

Commentary: This verse references the places of Bountiful, the land northward, the Sea East, and the Sea West. The borders of the land Bountiful are in proximity to a beach by the seashore. There is no direct reference whether the seashore is the Sea East or the Sea West. Alma 23:36 [51:30] describes Amalickiah trying to get to the land northward and Alma 24:2 [52:2] describes the army of Amalickiah abandoning the attempt to get to the land northward. So, the seashore would be by the sea leading to the land northward, which would be the Sea West. There is precedent for this seashore to be the Sea West shore. Morianton and his people came from the land of Morianton on the Sea East shore to the narrow pass on the Sea West shore that lead to the land northward. Amalickiah came from the city of Mulek on the Sea East shore with the intent to get to the land northward.

ALMA 24:13 [52:11]: And he also said unto him, I would come unto you, but behold, the Lamanites are upon us in the borders of the land by the west sea; and behold, I go against them, therefore I can not come unto you.

Commentary: This verse references the places of the land by the Sea West, the land northward, the narrow pass, and the Sea West. The term 'he' refers to Moroni. The term 'him' refers to Teancum. Teancum was in the land Bountiful. The land by the west sea (Sea West) is not the land Bountiful. Moroni was defending against Lamanites coming from the south, so the land by the west sea would be southward of the land Bountiful.

ALMA 24:14 [52:12]: Now the king (Ammoron) had departed out of the land of Zarahemla, and had made known unto the queen concerning the death of his brother, and had gathered together a large number of men, and had marched forth against the Nephites, on the borders by the west sea;

Commentary: This verse references the places of the land by the Sea West, the Sea West, and Zarahemla. Ammoron departed out of the land of Zarahemla and went to the Sea West. The phrase 'on the borders' means near, and not necessarily next to, the Sea West. This verse further explains the location of the land by the west sea as by the borders by the west sea.

ALMA 24:61 [53:8]: And now it came to pass that the armies of the Lamanites, on the west sea, south, while in the absence of Moroni, on account of some intrigue amongst the Nephites, which caused dissensions amongst them, had gained some ground over the Nephites, yea, insomuch that they had obtained possession of a number of their cities in that part of the land;

Commentary: This verse references the places of Antiparah, Cumeni, Manti, the Sea West, and Zeezrom. The phrase 'west sea, south' means the southern portion of the land of the Nephites by the Sea West. The phrase 'cities in that part of the land' refers to more than one city. From Alma 26:15 [56:13], these cities were Antiparah, Cumeni, Manti, and Zeezrom. This places all of these cities in the southern parts of the possessions of the Nephites and in proximity to the Sea West.

ALMA 24:78 [53:22]: And now it came to pass that Helaman did march at the head of his two thousand stripling soldiers, to the support of the people in the borders of the land on the south by the west sea.

Commentary: This verse references the places of Antiparah, Cumeni, Manti, the Sea West, and Zeezrom. The phrase 'on the south by the west sea' is an alternative phrase to 'west sea, south' used in Alma 24:61 [53:8]. The phrase 'borders of the land' indicates these cities were on the borders of the possessions of the Nephites and next to the possessions of the Lamanites.

ALMA 26:15 [56:13]: And now these are the cities which the Lamanites have obtained possession, by the shedding of the blood of so many of our valiant men: The land of Manti, or the city of Manti, and the city of Zeezrom, and the city of Cumeni, and the city of Antiparah.

Commentary: This verse references the places of Antiparah, Cumeni, Manti, river Sidon (headwaters), Sea West, and Zeezrom. These cities (and presumed lands) are listed in geographical order; they share a boundary with each other. Since the land of Manti is near the headwaters of the river Sidon, the city of Antiparah is near the Sea West.

ALMA 26:36 [56:31]: And we were to march near the city of Antiparah, as if we were going to the city beyond, in the borders by the sea-shore.

Commentary: This verse references the places of Antiparah, a city beyond the city of Antiparah, and the Sea West. The term 'we' refers to Helaman in the city of Judea. The city near the city of Antiparah is by the seashore. Since the city of Antiparah is near the Sea West shore, the city beyond the city of Antiparah is on the Sea West shore. Since the city of Judea is also in proximity to the city beyond the city of Antiparah and going between them lies close the city of Antiparah, the three cities are in a general line. This places the city of Judea eastward of the city of Antiparah.

ALMA 30:6 [63:5]: And it came to pass that Hagoth, he being an exceeding curious man, therefore he went forth, and built him an exceeding large ship, on the borders of the land Bountiful, by the land Desolation, and launched it forth into the west sea, by the narrow neck which led into the land northward.

Commentary: This verse references the places of Bountiful, Desolation, the land northward, the narrow neck, the narrow pass, and the Sea West. The land Bountiful borders the land Desolation at a point in the narrow neck by the west sea. It also implies that the land Bountiful is located in the area referred to as the narrow neck. The land Desolation is by the Sea West. The land northward is far enough from the narrow neck to warrant going there by ship rather than over land. The phrase 'into the land northward' indicates that the land northward is outside the area defined as the narrow neck. That a ship is needed to get to the land northward indicates the land northward is not close to the narrow neck; its boundary did not begin just northward of the narrow neck.

ALMA 30:10 [63:7]: And the first ship did also return, and many more people did enter into it; and they also took much provisions, and set out again to the land northward.

Commentary: This verse references the places of Bountiful, Desolation, the land northward, the narrow neck, and the Sea West. Hagoth's ship went to the land northward and returned in less than a year. The borders of land Bountiful and the land Desolation by the narrow neck by the west sea was the port for the ship. The phrase 'to the land northward' indicates that the land northward did not border the narrow neck and did not include the land Desolation (which did border the narrow neck).

ALMA 30:19 [63:15]: And also in this same year, they came down with a numerous army to war against the people of Moronihah, or against the army of Moronihah, in the which they were beaten, and driven back again to their own lands, suffering great loss.

Commentary: This verse references the places of Moronihah and the South Wilderness. The term 'they' refers to the Lamanites. The phrase 'came down' indicates the Lamanites were higher than the land of Moronihah, at least that there is higher terrain around the land of Moronihah. The land of Moronihah is somewhere near the South Wilderness and the possessions of the Lamanites.

HELAMAN 2:8 [3:8]: And it came to pass that they did multiply and spread, and did go forth from the land southward to the land northward, and did spread insomuch that they began to cover the face of the whole earth, from the sea south, to the sea north, from the sea west, to the sea east.

Commentary: This verse references the places of the land northward, the land southward, the Sea East, the Sea North, the Sea South, the Sea West, and Zarahemla. The terms 'from' and 'to' imply that the land southward and land northward were separate lands. This is the only reference to the sea north and the sea south and there is insufficient information in this verse to place the sea north and sea south in relation to any other location. There is a chiasmus matching this verse and Helaman 2:3 [3:3] that mentions the people spread from the land of Zarahemla. This puts the land of Zarahemla close to the land southward.

HELAMAN 2:10 [3:10]: And it came to pass as timber was exceeding scarce in the land northward, they did send forth much by the way of shipping; and thus they did enable the people in the land northward, that they might build many cities, both of wood and of cement.

Commentary: This verse references the places of the land northward, the narrow neck, and the Sea West. The term 'they' refers to the people in the land northward. Wood was scarce in the land northward. It was easier to get wood to the land northward by ship from the area around the narrow neck than by an overland route. This also indicates that there was a port near the land northward to offload the timber and either the land northward bordered the Sea West or there was a route from the port to the land northward.

HELAMAN 2:39 [4:6]: And the Nephites, and the armies of Moronihah, were driven even into the land of Bountiful; and there they did fortify against the Lamanites, from the west sea, even unto the east; it being a day's journey for a Nephite, on the line which they had fortified and stationed their armies to defend their north country.

Commentary: This verse references the places of Bountiful, Desolation, the north country, and the Sea West. The land Bountiful went from the west sea (Sea West) to a point on the east that is a day's journey from the Sea West. There is no distinct location given for the point on the east. The line of fortification was not the entire width of the narrow neck. Alma 13:76 [22:32] gives a longer distance for the narrow neck as a journey of a day and a half. The north country is located in the same area as the land Bountiful.

III NEPHI 2:32 [3:23]: And the land which was appointed was the land of Zarahemla and the land which was between the land of Zarahemla and the land Bountiful; yea, to the line which was between the land Bountiful and the land Desolation;

Commentary: This verse references the places of Bountiful, Desolation, the land southward, the narrow neck, the Sea East, the Sea West, the one place, and Zarahemla. The 'one place' in III Nephi 2:17 [3:13] is described here. It is a land between the land of Zarahemla and 'the line which was between the land Bountiful and the land Desolation'. The line between the land Desolation and land Bountiful describes the narrow neck between the Sea West and the Sea East. In III Nephi 2:34 [3:24], this one place is called the land southward. This description of the land southward defines the northward boundary of the land southward as the narrow neck. The southward boundary of the land southward is northward of the land of Zarahemla. So, the land southward is an area between the land of Zarahemla and the land Bountiful.

MORMON 1:27 [2:5]: And they did also drive us forth out of the land of David. And we marched forth and came to the land of Joshua, which was in the borders west, by the sea-shore.

Commentary: This verse references the places of Angola, David, Joshua, the Narrow Neck, the North Country, and the Sea West. The phrase 'did also' indicates that there is a land in addition to the land of David. Since the city of Angola was the previous location they were driven out of, this means the land of David is separate from the land surrounding the city of Angola. This indicates the area around the city of Angola is also considered to be a land. The land of Joshua is in or near the north countries and located by the Sea West shore. So, the land of Joshua is west of the land of David. The north countries were in the narrow neck. Since the direction that Mormon's army is being driven is westward towards the seashore to the west, the land of David is westward of the city of Angola.

MORMON 1:61 [2:29]: And the Lamanites did give unto us the land northward; yea, even to the narrow passage which led into the land southward.

Commentary: This verse references the places of the land northward, the land southward, the narrow neck, the narrow pass, the Sea East, and the Sea West. The term 'passage' is the only time this term is used in the Book of Mormon. The term 'pass' is also used differently than 'neck'. The narrow pass is between the land northward and the land southward. This puts it in or near the narrow neck. The narrow neck runs from the Sea West to the Sea East. The term 'passage' indicates a length. So, a narrow passage indicates that part of the distance from the narrow neck to the land northward is a narrow area that was navigable. The phrase 'into the land southward' indicates that the narrow passage is outside the boundaries of the land southward. This would put the narrow passage northward of the land southward. The phrase 'which led' indicates the boundary of the land southward is near to the narrow passage, so the northern boundary of the land southward is near the narrow neck.

MORMON 1:71 [3:7]: And it came to pass that in the three hundred and sixty and first year, the Lamanites did come down to the city of Desolation to battle against us; and it came to pass that in that year, we did beat them, insomuch that they did return to their own lands again.

Commentary: This verse references the places of Desolation and the Sea West. The term 'us' refers to Mormon and the Nephites. The phrase 'come down' indicates that the city of Desolation is lower in elevation than where the Lamanites came from. This confirms that the city of Desolation is very near the seashore as further explained in Mormon 1:73 [3:8].

MORMON 1:73 [3:8]: And we did beat them again, and did slay a great number of them, and their dead were cast into the sea.

Commentary: This verse references the places of Desolation and the Sea West. The term 'we' refers to Mormon and the Nephites. The term 'them' refers to the Lamanites. The city of Desolation is located in close proximity to the sea. The sea would be the Sea West. This verse also places the land Desolation next to the seashore.

MORMON 2:4 [4:3]: Now the city Teancum lay in the borders by the seashore; and it was also near the city Desolation.

Commentary: This verse references the places of Desolation, the Sea West, and Teancum. Since the land Desolation is by the Sea West shore, this verse places the city Teancum by the Sea West shore.

MORMON 2:21 [4:19]: And it came to pass that the Lamanites did come down against the city Desolation; and there was an exceeding sore battle fought in the land Desolation, in the which they did beat the Nephites.

Commentary: This verse references the places of Desolation and the Sea West. The phrase 'come down' indicates the Lamanites came from a location that is higher in elevation than the city Desolation. With the city Desolation located near the Sea West shore, any place would be higher in elevation than the city Desolation. This verse also enforces the practice that a land contains a city with the same name.

MORMON 2:25 [4:23]: And now I, Mormon, seeing that the Lamanites were about to overthrow the land, therefore I did go to the hill Shim, and did take up all the records which Ammoron had hid up unto the Lord.

Commentary: This verse references the places of Antum, Boaz, the hill Shim, and the Sea West. Mormon went to the hill Shim (in the land of Antum) from the city Boaz. There is no indication how close the two were together. It may imply that the way to the hill Shim from the land of Boaz is through an area where there were few, if any, Lamanites. If the Lamanites were pursuing the Nephites generally northward from the land Desolation, the route from the city Boaz to the hill Shim would then have to be eastward (westward would be the Sea West). This would also imply that the hill Shim is northward of the narrow neck where Lamanites had control.

ETHER 1:36 [2:13]: And now I proceed with my record; for behold it came to pass that the Lord did bring Jared and his brethren forth even to that great sea which divideth the lands.

Commentary: This verse references the places of the Sea West. The term 'I' refers to Moroni. The phrase 'great sea which divideth the lands' refers to the Sea West.

ETHER 1:37 [2:13]: And as they came to the sea, they pitched their tents; and they called the name of the place Moriancumer; and they dwelt in tents; and dwelt in tents upon the sea-shore for the space of four years.

Commentary: This verse references the places of Moriancumer, the sea in the wilderness, and the Sea West. Moriancumer is at a point after the sea in the wilderness ended and the Sea West began.

ETHER 3:5 [6:4]: And it came to pass that when they had done all these things, they got aboard of their vessels or barges, and set forth into the sea, commending themselves unto the Lord their God.

Commentary: This verse references the places of Moriancumer, the Promised Land (Ether), and the Sea West. The term 'they' refers to Jared and his people. They launched boats into the Sea West from the seashore by Moriancumer. There was a way to navigate from this point to the Promised Land (Ether). Moriancumer is on the western side of the Sea West and the Promised Land (Ether) is on the eastern side of the Sea West.

ETHER 3:13 [6:11]: And thus they were driven forth, three hundred and forty and four days upon the water; and they did land upon the shore of the promised land.

Commentary: This verse references the places of the Promised Land (Ether) and the Sea West. The term 'they' refers to Jared and everyone with him. This verse describes Jared and his people landing in the new world at a place named the Promised Land (in the book of Ether). The first land established after landing in the Promised Land (Ether) is the land of Moron. The land of Moron is next to the land Desolation that is on the Sea West shore (Ether 3:43 [7:6]). Using Occam's Razor, Jared arrived at the Promised Land (Ether) by landing on the Sea West shore near the location of what would later become the land Desolation.

ETHER 4:68 [10:20]: And they built a great city by the narrow neck of land, by the place where the sea divides the land.

Commentary: This verse references the places of the narrow neck, the great city by the narrow neck, the Sea East, and the Sea West. The term 'they' refers to Lib and his people. The phrase 'the sea' is not plural. So, the location of the great (unnamed) city is by either the Sea East or the Sea West, whichever sea divided the land. The lands so far described in the Book of Ether were close to the Promised Land (Ether) that is on the Sea West shore, so the great city would have been on the Sea West shore in the area of the narrow neck.

ETHER 6:46 [14:12]: And it came to pass that he fought with Lib, in which Lib did smite upon his arm that he was wounded; nevertheless, the army of Coriantumr did press forward upon Lib, that he fled to the borders upon the sea-shore.

Commentary: This verse references the places of Moron and Sea West. The term 'he' refers to Coriantumr. Lib fled from the land of Moron to the Sea West seashore.

ETHER 6:47 [14:13]: And it came to pass that Coriantumr pursued him; and Lib gave battle unto him upon the sea-shore.

Commentary: This verse references the places of Moron and the Sea West. The land of Moron lies in proximity to the seashore.

ETHER 6:48 [14:14]: And it came to pass that Lib did smite the army of Coriantumr, that they fled again to the wilderness of Akish.

Commentary: This verse references the places of Moron, the Sea West, and the wilderness of Akish. The wilderness of Akish next to the land of Moron should also not be very far from the seashore.

ETHER 6:49 [14:15]: And it came to pass that Lib did pursue him until he came to the plains of Agosh.

Commentary: This verse references the places of the plains of Agosh, the plains of Heshlon, the Sea West, and the wilderness of Akish. The term 'him' refers to Coriantumr. Lib pursued Coriantumr from the wilderness of Akish to the plains of Agosh. They were coming from the Sea West shore and through the wilderness of Akish, so this implies that the plains of Agosh are further east past the wilderness of Akish. At a minimum, the plains of Agosh were to the north of the wilderness of Akish. The plains of Agosh were not to the south of the wilderness of Akish since the following battles between Coriantumr and Shiz happened northward of the land of Moron, Nehor, and Heth. This would also put the plains of Agosh east of the plains of Heshlon.
