To properly compare each model to John Clark's elemental Nephite geography, we need real-world coordinates for each of these transects.

• Transect 1 (Cumorah)
• Transect 2 (Hagoth)
• Transect 3 (Bountiful)
• Transect 4 (Zarahemla)
• Transect 5 (Seashore City)
• Transect 6 (Moroni)
• Transect 7 (Nephi)

Then we estimate the distances between transects for each geography model as best we can. My first attempt to do so for eight different models can be reviewed below. If anyone finds anything that seems off, do let me know and I can adjust before running this all through the GPT. Over time, we'll be able to refine the travel times between transects as we research topographical features and highway/road systems in ancient times for each model.

Baseline Model: John Clark's Elemental Geography

• Transect 1 (Cumorah) to Transect 3 (Line Bountiful): 6 days
• Transect 2 (Hagoth) to Transect 3 (Line Bountiful): 1 to 1.5 days*
• Transect 2 (Hagoth) to Transect 5 (Seashore City): 11 days
• Transect 3 (Line Bountiful) to Transect 6 (Moroni): 6 days
• Transect 4 (Zarahemla) to Transect 7 (Nephi): 11 days
• Transect 5 (Seashore City) to Transect 6 (Moroni): 11 days
