Mary Fielding Smith's Millcreek farm circa 1850

I was asked to render what Mary Fielding Smith's Millcreek farm may have looked like in 1850. Shortly after arriving in the Salt Lake valley, this remarkable pioneer woman saddled her horse and rode south to what is now the Millcreek area. She found a clear, flowing spring on a gentle mountain slope and carved out her homestead there. All we have are descriptions of her farm from journal entries today … this is my rendition of how it may have looked back then.
