Alma 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.

Alma 22:31

And they came from there up into the south wilderness.

Thus the land on the northward was called Desolation,

and the land on the southward was called Bountiful,

it being the wilderness which is filled

with all manner of wild animals of every kind,

a part of which had come from the land northward for food.

Alma 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;

and thus the land of Nephi and the land of Zarahemla

were nearly surrounded by water,

there being a small neck of land

between the land northward and the land southward.

Alma 22:33

And it came to pass that the Nephites had inhabited the land Bountiful,

even from the east unto the west sea,

and thus the Nephites in their wisdom, with their guards and their armies,

had hemmed in the Lamanites on the south,

that thereby they should have no more possession on the north,

that they might not overrun the land northward.
