Book of Mormon Map Explorer
$4.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Explore four side-by-side theories of Book of Mormon geography — Mesoamerica, Heartland, Baja, and a new text-based theory revealed through AI analysis of the scriptures.
Where did the events of the Book of Mormon actually take place?
For nearly two centuries, faithful members and scholars have searched for answers. Mapping Zarahemla brings the leading geographic theories together in one beautifully designed app — so you can study, compare, and decide for yourself.
EXPLORE FOUR THEORIES SIDE BY SIDE
• The Mesoamerican Theory (Sorenson) — the most widely accepted scholarly model, placing Nephite and Lamanite lands in southern Mexico and Guatemala.
• The Heartland Theory — locating Book of Mormon events in the central and eastern United States, with the Hill Cumorah in New York.
• The Baja Theory — a focused model suggesting the entire narrative unfolded along the Baja California peninsula.
• A New Text-Based Theory — emerging from a careful analysis of the Book of Mormon's internal geographic clues with the help of modern AI models. Presented for study, not as doctrine.
INTERACTIVE MAPS WITH OVERLAYS
Switch between theories with a tap. Compare proposed locations for Zarahemla, Bountiful, the Land of Nephi, the narrow neck, the river Sidon, and more — all plotted on real-world maps. Toggle overlays to see how the theories align, diverge, and account for the text's geographic clues.
SCRIPTURE TIED TO PLACE
Tap any location and see the exact verses that describe it. Read Alma 22 alongside the proposed land it describes. Watch Lehi's journey unfold from Jerusalem to the promised land, verse by verse, location by location.
BUILT FOR STUDY
• Side-by-side theory comparison
• Real-world maps with proposed Book of Mormon overlays
• Scripture references linked to every location
• Lehi's journey, Mormon's wars, and Christ's visit traced geographically
• Designed for personal study, family scripture time, and gospel doctrine prep
FOR THE CURIOUS AND THE FAITHFUL
Mapping Zarahemla doesn't pick a winner. It gives you the tools to weigh the evidence for yourself, with reverence for the text and respect for the long tradition of faithful inquiry. Whether you're a lifelong member, a student of the scriptures, or simply curious, this app invites you into the conversation.
