St. Thomas, Nevada
American ghost town (1865, submerged 1938–2000) / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St. Thomas, Nevada is a ghost town in Clark County, Nevada, United States, near where the Muddy River flows into the Colorado River. St. Thomas was purchased by the US Federal Government and abandoned as the waters of Lake Mead submerged the town in the 1930s.
