r <br /> vw. <br /> 1 <br /> t+, <br /> 's"c <br /> 5t s A <br /> Figure 32: Vindicator Valley in 1903,including the town of Independence and the Vindicator(upper center and <br /> upper left)and Lillie(upper right)mines(US Geological Survey public domain photograph taken by F.L. <br /> Ransome,1903). The Golden Cycle mine and the Vindicator Valley compliance monitoring wells are just off the <br /> lower right portion of the image. <br /> Figure 33 shows the Golden Cycle mine, a portion of Goldfield (lower right), and part of the Vindicator <br /> dumps (upper left) in 1903. The approximate location of the Vindicator Valley compliance monitoring well <br /> is also shown, and demonstrates the intense historic mining disturbance adjacent to the monitoring wells. <br /> The monitoring well location was determined from rail lines, roads, and buildings in Figure 33 in <br /> comparison with the same features shown in the 1951 USGS 1:24000 topographic map and a 1991 aerial <br /> image. It is evident from Figures 32 and 33 that there was extensive disturbance in Vindicator Valley up- <br /> gradient of the current compliance monitoring wells. <br />
