>Somerfield was intentionally flooded by a dam to build the Youghiogheny River Lake in the 1940s.
Most people would be uncomfortable to learn how many Native American towns and settlements were flooded during dam construction out west
All kinds of weird stuff is under our lakes. The most southern way to die is to crash your speed boat into the old racetrack when Lake Lure is in drought.
I live in Kansas near a reservoir made in 1964 and for the last couple of years it has been drying up and we can see old farmstead foundations and tree rows that were by a dirt road. There are also bridges being revealed as well.
