I drew this map in my scriptures on the blank page just before the first book of Nephi while I was on my mission while studying some of the anthropological aspects of the Book of Mormon:
I wondered what the trail along the Red Sea looked like and what the desert landscape must have looked like. I've wondered what the Valley of Lemuel must have looked like as well as the River of Laman. I've visualized the land Bountiful and the shore where Nephi might have built his ship. Could the Valley of Lemuel have been "immovable" for thousands of years?
