ALMA 24:24 [52:20]: And it came to pass that they sent embassies to the army of the Lamanites, which protected the city of Mulek, to their leader, whose name was Jacob, desiring him that he would come out with his armies to meet them upon the plains, between the two cities.
Commentary: This verse references the places of Bountiful, Mulek, plains between Bountiful and Mulek, and a wilderness west of the city of Mulek. There are plains between the city Bountiful and the city Mulek. Jacob is cautious so he is not going to go far from the city Mulek (see Alma 24:25 [52:21]), so the plains are in, or close to, the lands of Mulek. The Sea East is eastward of the city of Mulek, so the plains would be westward of the city of Mulek.
