27. Alma 22:30 And it (Bountiful) bordered upon the land which they (the 1 st century BC Nephites) called Desolation, it (Bountiful) being so far northward that it came into the land which had been peopled and been destroyed, of whose bones we have spoken (Jaredites), which was discovered by the people of Zarahemla, it (land northward/Desolation) being the place of their (Mulekites) first landing.

29. Alma 22:31 And they (the Mulekites) came from there (the land northward/Desolation) up into the south wilderness. Thus the land on the northward was called Desolation, and the land on the southward was called Bountiful, it (Bountiful) being the wilderness which is filled with all manner of wild animals of every kind, a part of which had come from the land northward for food.
