City of Bountiful
Another city prominently mentioned in The Book of Mormon is the City of Bountiful which was located in the Land Bountiful. It was a place you had to pass to gain access to the Land Northward.

Now that we know where the City of Zarahemla is, we can easily locate the City of Bountiful. The following verses describe the relationship between the City of Bountiful and the City of Zarahemla:
22 And now when Coriantumr saw that he was in possession of the city of Zarahemla, and saw that the Nephites had fled before them, and were slain, and were taken, and were cast into prison, and that he had obtained the possession of the strongest hold in all the land, his heart took courage insomuch that he was about to go forth against all the land.
23 And now he did not tarry in the land of Zarahemla but he did march forth with a large army even towards the city of Bountiful for it was his determination to go forth and cut his way through with the sword that he might obtain the north parts of the land. [Land Northward]
24 And, supposing that their greatest strength was in the center of the land, therefore he did march forth, giving them no time to assemble themselves together save it were in small bodies; and in this manner they did fall upon them and cut them down to the earth. (Helaman 1:22-23)
The "center of the land" was bounded by two forks of the River Sidon. From the City of Zarahemla/East Aurora, one would travel along these rivers, or inbetween them following their natural course until reaching the West Sea. This is how the Native Americans did it, this is how the Lamanites and Nephites also did it.


The City of Bountiful lies to the north of Shire Baggins.
