St. Thomas Ghost Town In Lake Mead Remains Exposed As Drought Continues

LAKE MEAD NATIONAL RECREATION AREA, NV - AUGUST 03: Rusted pieces of metal are shown on a wall of the ruins of the Hannig Ice Cream Parlor in the ghost town of St. Thomas on August 3, 2015 in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Nevada. The town was founded in 1865 by Mormon pioneers at the site where the Muddy River flowed into the Colorado River and at one point had about 500 settlers. The town was abandoned in 1938 after the construction of the Hoover Dam caused the Colorado River to rise. The area was once submerged in 60 feet of water but became entirely exposed to the air as a severe drought in the Western United States over the last 15 years has caused Lake Mead to drop to historic low levels.
