St Thomas, Nevada, was founded by Mormon settlers in 1865 and flooded by the filling of Lake Mead in 1938. With water level falling to an elevation not seen since the lake was formed, St Thomas has emerged as a ghost town of rusted metal, weathered wood, and crumbling concrete in the Mojave Desert.

A structure foundation in ghost town St Thomas, Nevada, appears appropriately dry for the Mojave Desert surroundings instead of flooded by Lake Mead as originally occurred in 1938.
