Ma-kun-to-wip Valley, Utah (Zion National Park (?)-West Temple on left. Old No. 103. Hillers photo (/s/R.T. Evans). This photo shows dimly 2 wagons fording the creek and a horse on right bank near center of photo. Note: This is not a green number 80 but there probably is a glass negative on file. It is a good clear beautiful photo and could be copied if needed. An early example of contour farming is shown in the valley.
