The Atlantis of Lake Mead - St Thomas Nevada
Submerged under Lake Mead in 1938, St. Thomas, Nevada laid quietly under 60 feet of water until 1952 and again in 1965 when it briefly dried out enough for the former residents to hold a reunion there. Seven more times between 1938 and 2002, the waters receded enough that it could be seen.
But since 2002 St. Thomas has arisen and will probably never be absorbed by the waters of Lake Mead which is draining faster than it can be filled. The waters edge is now 10 miles south.
In the late 20's the residents knew that St. Thomas would perish when the Hoover Dam was completed.
" People began dismantling or moving houses when they could, though not everyone believed the lake would ever arrive.
The waters finally came in June of 1938."
"And then there's another...an old bachelor who lived by himself," ... "Had for years. And he wouldn't move out until it came right up to his door." This was Hugh Lord, who owed a garage in town.
"The day that he left, he woke up with water swirling around his bed. And he put his last possessions into a rowboat and rowed away from his house, and as he was leaving, he lit his house on fire."
