Los Arboles, Colorado
The San Pedro Catholic Church in Los Arboles was knocked down to make way for Navajo Dam. Parts of Los Arboles--including railroad tracks--reappear when water levels are low. 200 families, spread out between four small towns, were displaced by the project. 40 of these families were located in Los Arboles.
