Essentially, all that can be proved is that the Book of Mormon took place somewhere that was across a large body of water from the Middle East. From descriptions of lands in the Book of Mormon, most everyone deduces that it takes place in the Americas, with the "narrow neck of land" mentioned being near where the Panema canal is. Joseph Smith described the Native American Indians (of North, Central, and South America) as being descendants of the Book of Mormon peoples.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, by far the largest denomination professing belief in the Book of Mormon, has never produced an official statement or map regarding where the Book of Mormon took place.
Individual people and scholars have come up with several maps, which you can see at the "Related Links" below.

Why does the Mormon bible have an image with a Mayan temple in the background?
The term "Mormon Bible" is inaccurate, as Mormons use the Holy Bible as scripture. You may be referring to "The Book of Mormon," a book found and translated by Joseph Smith, founder of the Mormon faith.Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believe that the Book of Mormon has historical value rather than simply being fictive. Different theories have sought to find a place for the people and places listed in the Book of Mormon (such as the Moundbuilders in the Mississippi river valley).However, in more recent years the ancient Mayan culture has been the center of attention for Mormons.Whether one finds any connection between the Book of Mormon and the Mayan culture and artifacts (or any other group) is really a matter of faith.Another Answer:"Mormons" (members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) use the King James Version of the Bible.If you are referring to the Book of Mormon (which is used alongside, not in place of, the Bible), some versions of the Book of Mormon distributed by the church's missionaries include an image of Jesus Christ appearing to the Nephites (see the image at the "Related Link" below). The Book of Mormon describes this event as taking place shortly after the Savior's resurrection and Ascension (about 34 AD). [see 3 Nephi chapters 11-28 - pages 427-463]The Book of Mormon takes place between 2000 BC and 300 AD on the American continent - the same time period that historians place the Preclassic Mayan civilization in Mesoamerica. Some connections between Mayan culture and the culture of the Book of Mormon peoples have been found, leading many Mormons to belive that the Mayan and other ancient Mesoamerican people (such as the Olmec and Aztec) are some of the same people that are described in the Book of Mormon.
