Treasure Box Locations Map!
Let’s take a look at different JCB’s Treasure Box Locations Maps. We know there are 5 different treasure boxes hidden across the US – with treasures in the millions. Clues to find these treasure boxes are in the book There’s Treasure Inside (available on Amazon).
From clues being found within the book certain theories are arising on where the 5 different treasure boxes could be located. Let’s take a look!
First – what is known:
The Forrest Fenn box is hidden in the Rocky Mountains – let’s put a box over the Rocky Mountains – it could be in any of the 4 states: Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, or New Mexico.
In the book Jon says The Appalachian Footpath box is hidden along the Appalachian Trail. However, clues to the Appalachian Footpath box include a map with a portion of trail on it – and other icons, features, words, and secrets. The trail on the map has been found to exactly match one in the Green Mountains in Vermont. This leads many searchers to place this box in Vermont. (more on the AT Treasure Box)
I should note here – not until a box is found is anything confirmed – but for this map – we’ll place it in Vermont. It is a theory – so this is a theory Treasure Box Locations Map’.
The Pokemon Box is thought to be in the south – Jon mentions he drew inspiration from a family trip that went from NC to Houston and back past the Ozarks. Searchers are looking at clues and finding them for many of the states in that area. We’ll put that box – large – to represent that large general area – where it is thought to be.
That leaves the Past and Future Box and The Lion’s Share Box.
There are many theories for the Past and Future box– and clues to support those theories. It is not clear which are Red Herrings or which are actual clues.
Lake Tahoe has been suggested because of certain clues leading there. (link for more on the PF Box and Lake Tahoe Theory). Ohio and the TN/ NC/ SC border area have also been considered. Plus possible others. One of the key clues for Lake Tahoe was that when you placed the coin overtop the map, the angle matched the California and Nevada border where Lake Tahoe is.
However, this angle is also found between NC and SC. What is interesting is the two STATE words in the word search are close to that angle as well. But the coin remains in the same position when placed on the NC and SC border to that found in the word search. It changes for NV and CA. Let’s put the box in Lake Tahoe first and see what that looks like.
Jon said he hid the treasure boxes so you could feel like there was one near you – so they should be spread out and not clumped up in any one area. Putting the Past and Future Box in the Lake Tahoe area keeps the boxes spread out. But so does placing it in TN, NC /SC area. The Lion’s Share box may be hidden in the NorthWest to balance out the boxes.
Many clues for the Lion’s Share box are being found and although some searchers have a general location they like – we can see that it can placed in different areas to ‘balance out box locations’ Michigan happens to a location where the Lion’s Share treasure box could be hinted to be. (More on Michigan Treasure Box Theory)
Again – I just want to say – these are Theories to the locations – until a box is found nothing is confirmed….. but when the boxes are to be spread out, if a clue for the Lion’s Share box, or any other box, hints to being in a area where there is already a box or two, they all might need reconsidered.
The boxes could be in a state next to each other – all we know is that all 5 boxes are in different states, and that Jon wanted to spread them out so you could feel like there was one relatively close to where you live.
As I gain more information, I’ll update the maps again – or check out the MW Discord! Lots of discussion going on there!
