The land of Amulon (Mosiah 23:31) was probably away from the other routes that had been taken from Lehi-Nephi (neither Alma's group nor Limhi's group ran into it). The land of Amulon could not have been close to Lehi-Nephi, for neither the Amulonites nor Lamanites knew the exact way back to the capital. The land of Amulon was probably in a somewhat northerly direction from Lehi-Nephi, for Alma's group in the land of Helam was only 13 days away from the land of Zarahemla (instead of a little more than 21 days), and the Lamanites (possibly directed by the priests of Amulon) were trying to return to the land of Shemlon near the local land of Nephi. This could mean that the land of Amulon was farther away from Lehi-Nephi or the land of Shemlon (and somewhat closer to the land of Zarahemla) than the land of Helam was. [Adapted from John L. Sorenson, The Geography of Book of Mormon Events: A Source Book, p. 227] [For other factors involved in the location of the land of Amulon, refer back to the commentary on Mosiah 21:21]
