top The town of St. Thomas, Nevada, was submerged when the Hoover Dam was constructed in 1935. Founded in 1865 by Mormon settlers, the town was eventually lost beneath 60 feet of Lake Mead's water. In 2002, the town started reemerging as water levels dropped drastically in the early 2000s. Currently, Lake Mead is at a record low of 1,040.5 feet, exposing the old streets for visitors. This low level significantly compromises the dam's hydroelectric power generation due to drought.
