Alma 22:27 states the following:
And it came to pass that the [Lamanite] king sent a proclamation:
throughout all the land,
amongst all his people who were in all his land,
[amongst all his people] who were in all the regions round about,
which [land] was bordering even to the sea, on the east and on the west,
If the borders of the land of the Lamanites (the general land of Nephi) were "bordering even to the sea, on the east and on the west" (Alma 22:27), then according to the Mesoamerican map and David Palmer's model with solstice-oriented directions, the east coast borders of the general land of Nephi would be situated near the Atlantic Ocean and the west coast borders would be situated towards the Pacific Ocean.
