In what may be a canary in a coal mine signaling the severity of drought in California, a series of Gold Rush-era ruins formerly submerged beneath Folsom Lake have reappeared on the surface.
The ruins of Mormon Island have been sitting at the bottom of Folsom Lake since 1955, like a modern-day Atlantis. They have not been visible since 2014, when lake levels dropped so low the foundations of some of the walls became visible.
