Moroni, the abridger of the Jaredite record and the last historian of the Nephites, is in an ideal position to indicate some of the geographical relationships between the lands of the Jaredites and the lands of the Nephites. Unfortunately, Moroni does not give us very much information concerning this matter. However, he does indicate that the "land of Moron" of the Jaredites "was near the land which is called Desolation by the Nephites." (Ether 7:6.) Inasmuch as the land of Moron was the capital land of the Jaredites and the Nephite land of Desolation was north of the narrow neck of land, it is assumed that the major portion of the Jaredite civilization lived north of the narrow neck of land.
