About this map

St Thomas sits submerged beneath the waters of Lake Mead National Recreation Area, a poignant reminder of the landscape's transformation following the construction of Hoover Dam. This 1950s era survey, updated with 1970 aerial photography, captures the northern reaches of the reservoir where the Muddy River and Virgin River converge. The desert terrain surrounding the water is marked by industrial sites like the Florence Mine and the Nevada Silica Sand Mine near Silica Dome, highlighting the mineral extraction that preceded the area's recreational shift.
