St. Thomas Nevada: The Town Beneath Lake Mead
Beneath the waters of Lake Mead, an entire American town once disappeared. Founded in 1865, St. Thomas grew into a farming community in Nevada’s Moapa Valley. Then came the Hoover Dam. As the Colorado River backed up to fill the reservoir, the valley began to flood. By 1938, the water had risen high enough to swallow St. Thomas completely, leaving only church steeples visible today. History isn't always written in books. Sometimes it's waiting underwater. Follow for more unseen America.
