The following is a clip in it's entirety in FAIRs response to the anti-Mormon video "The Bible vs. The Book of Mormon". Shorter clips have been previously posted on the FAIR Youtube site. This clip goes over the geography of The Book of Mormon in the New World. Evidence suggests that the area of the Book of Mormon include Southern Mexico and Guatamala. You can read some great rebuttals of the anti-Mormon video here:

There was also a practical reason for the plates being buried in upstate New York. God knew that only 1100 years later, the Spanish conquistadores would overrun Mesoamerica, and would capture and carry off all of the Mayan gold, taking it back to Seville where it would be melted down and resculpted into the high altar in the cathedral there (historic fact). Had the plates not been removed someplace distant, they could have been lost forever. It was a matter of protection.
This is also the likely reason why other volumes bound in similar manner have not been found in Mesoamerica. They were smelted in Spain in the 1500s. Any tour of Seville includes both a visit to the Torre de Oro, where the Mayan gold was secured until the artisans could construct the high altar at the Cathedral, and a visit to that cathedral. The altar, though reverent and beautiful is of infinately less value than the abridged writings of the Nephite prophets.
I have a question that maybe someone could respond to, if the new theory of Book of Mormon landscape is a portion of land only a couple of hundred miles in length extending from southern Mexico to the tip of Guatemala, why is the Hill Cumorah in NY state?
Because the Lamanites were south of the Nephites and they were conquering them. Moroni only had one direction to go to keep from being destroyed, and that was North. He wandered for many decades and ended up where the plates were buried. Hope that helps.
