Cimarron County, OK - Dust Bowl

An abandoned farm in Cimarron County, Oklahoma during the dust bowl days of the 1930's. The Dust Bowl of the 1930s, sometimes referred to as the "Dirty Thirties” lasted about a decade. This was a period of severe dust storms which caused major agricultural damage to American and Canadian prairie lands, primarily from 1930 to 1936, but in some areas, until 1940. It was caused by severe drought and decades of extensive farming without crop rotation. Photo by Arthur Rothstein, 1936. Vintage photo restored by Kathy Weiser-Alexander.
