Rockport, Utah
In this photo, young Rockport residents pose in front of a building that was possibly a school house. Rockport was displaced in the 1950s to make way for the Wanship Dam and Rockport Reservoir, but in 2021 the reservoir's water levels dropped so low that remnants of the town were revealed, including home foundations and a road.
