About the Americas location: The Book of Mormon does not give a modern map location for the land Bountiful. The pins in Mesoamerica are illustrative placeholders, not identified locations of Book of Mormon events. The Church does not take a position on specific geographic locations in the ancient Americas. Read the Church’s explanation of Book of Mormon geography.

Sources and certainty: Scripture references are from the King James Bible, the Book of Mormon, and the Doctrine and Covenants. Read the New Testament, 3 Nephi, and Doctrine and Covenants 19:18 in Gospel Library. Most Holy Land places use standard Bible atlas identifications such as Nazareth, Bethlehem, Capernaum, Bethsaida, Caesarea Philippi, Jericho, and Bethany. A few pins are traditional or representative rather than certain: the Gospels do not name the mountain of the Transfiguration, the exact road and village for Emmaus is disputed, and the precise tomb location is not known with certainty. Those stops are labeled accordingly in their descriptions. Egypt and other regional pins are approximate study locations. See also the Church’s Bible Dictionary entry on Emmaus.

Built as a study companion for focuschrist.com. Most Holy Land points follow standard historical identifications. A small number are traditional or representative where the exact ancient location is not certain. The Americas marker is representative, not a doctrinal claim about exact Book of Mormon geography.
