Lake Mead's falling water levels are revealing a US ghost town submerged by its waters 90 years ago
The receding waters of Lake Mead have unveiled the eerie remnants of St. Thomas, a ghost town in Nevada. Originally a thriving Mormon settlement founded in 1865, it was swallowed by rising waters after the Hoover Dam was built in 1938. Now, the lakebed displays its foundations, allowing history enthusiasts a rare opportunity to connect with a bygone era of agricultural significance.
