The Dust Bowl

The Dust Bowl The Dust Bowl refers to a period of severe dust storms and soil erosion in the Great Plains during the 1930s. Region included parts of Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Colorado, and smaller parts of New Mexico and Nebraska. Image retrieved from http://capita.wustl.edu/namaerosol/Dust%20Bowl%20map.htm

Causes Increase in plow-based farming in 1920s New mechanized farming led to overproduction Loss of fertile topsoil that literally blew away in the winds Fields now vulnerable to drought and inhospitable for growing crops. In a brutal twist of fate, a drought strikes.

Dust Bowl A terrible drought, coupled with decades of damage to the topsoil from plowing, led to extreme wind erosion and huge dust clouds that covered the Plains. Thousands of Midwestern farmers lost everything and, bankrupted, were forced to move west to try to find work as migrant labor.

Dust Storms 300+ dust storms from 1933-1938. Storms featured fast moving clouds of dust several miles wide Covered farms and homes, destroyed crops, and made people sick. Image retrieved from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Wea01422.jpg

Displacement and Migration Many people left the Dust Bowl region, abandoning their homes and to look for work in Western states, such as California. Exodus was the largest migration in American history within a short period of time. 1930-1940: about 3.5 million people moved out of the Plains states Left image source: http://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/fsa1998018535/PP/ Right image source: http://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/fsa2000001781/PP/ Migrant family in San Francisco, 1935 Farmer leveling dust hills in Texas, 1938
