Mormon notes that when the Lamanites found that their daughters had been missing, they went up to the land of Nephi to destroy the people of Limhi. But “Limhi had discovered them from the tower, even all their preparations for war did he discover” (Mosiah 20:8). Apparently this tower was the one mentioned in Mosiah 11:12 which Noah built “near the temple; yea, a very high tower, even so high that [Noah] could stand upon the top thereof and overlook the land of Shilom, and also the land of Shemlon, which was possessed by the Lamanites; and he could even look over all the land round about.” Thus, Limhi could view the land of Shemlon from Noah’s tower clearly enough to “see all their preparations for war” (Mosiah 20:8). If so, the distance between the two locations was not very far, and the land of Shemlon might have been lower in elevation than Lehi-Nephi. [Alan C. Miner, Personal Notes]
