The Dust Bowl affected 100,000,000 acres in five US States with the center point being the Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles and the adjoining States of Colorado, Kansas and New Mexico. It was an ecological and economic disaster that did not end until the 1940's. They were termed the "Black Blizzards" by those who lived through them.
