Book of Mormon LandsThe Pasión River Model

Cities

Jerusalem

Proposed site: Tamahú, on the Polochic (approximate)

The book places the Lamanite city of Jerusalem near Tamahú on the Polochic, where a landslide later formed a lake (3 Nephi 9:7). The book's relief map labels nearby Tucurú instead; the authors confirmed Tamahú (Nov 9, 2026).

  • Scripture: Alma 21:1–2; 3 Nephi 9:7

  • Precision: approximate area
