Dust Bowl |

| This photograph is a stark depiction of the effects of overcultivation of the Great Plains. The droughts of the 1930s, combined with severe winds, produced soil erosion and ruinous dust storms. This period in Oklahoma’s history created the Dust Bowl, which left many farmers bankrupt and forced many to move away. | ||||||
