The unauthorized suggestion of existing land south of Lehi's landing is not justified by the text. Omitting "sea south" from the map implies there is only a "sea west" and a "sea east" which is not what the Book of Mormon tells us. Where is sea south and what does it border?

Yep, they nailed it for the most part. They have figured it out and interpreted the general shape of the land as it relates to the seas. It's not rocket science. The problem is they have to realize that we are dealing with a peninsula and not an isthmus. Once that sinks in the pieces come together and it works perfectly. The cardinal directions come together and everything is there. Smith had a land in which to invent his stories. Delmarva brings everything home to the good ole USA. The land of liberty!
