Map of Mosiah -- plotting it all out

This week we started Mosiah 7.  King Benjamin, the great orator, has passed his crown onto his son King Mosiah I.  It is in the next several chapters that we read of a variety of travels and encounters with new groups of people, new cities, and new conflicts. In an effort to keep them all straight, I put together a map.

The Mosiah Map illustrates, in very general terms, the location of the Land of First Inheritance, the Land of Nephi, Zarahemla, and The Land of Desolation. The map also includes several of the people we read about in Mosiah -- Mosiah, Zeniff, Ammon, Noah, Limhi. The geographical locations are an absolute approximation! However, I have worked to include scripture references that document all of the people, locations, and activities on the map.

You are welcome to use it.

The map below includes all of the scripture references already written into the map.

If you would like a copy of the Mosiah Map WITHOUT the scripture references written in, you will need to click here -- Map WITHOUT scripture references.  The references are on a separate sheet, click here to download it.  I provided my seminary students with a copy of the map WITHOUT the scripture reference, and then copied the scripture references on the back.  During the class period, as we read through Mosiah 7 & 8 we filled in the scripture references.

Students also had a fun time coloring in their maps and personalizing them.

Here's what we did on our whiteboard for the lesson.
