What is Deseret? turns out it is not a misspelling of desert on the map.
Mormon's fantasy empire.
Yeah, I looked it up and started to read about it but decided to has better things to do with my time than finish the article.
It was the name the original Mormon settlers in Utah gave to the area.

Iirc Joeseph Smith claimed that was an ancient "Jaredite" word for honeybee.
The "Jaredites" were an imaginary people from Mesopotamia who left after the collapse of the tower of Babel in sealed boats and ended up in the good ol US of A.
Obviously there is no achaeological evidence for this group of people because Joeseph Smith made them up for his ~~cult~~ fanfic
Yup, I linked it in my reply.
