The Dust Bowl was the loss of farmland in the Great Plains and adjacent areas, from Texas and the Oklahoma panhandle north to Canada.

These prairies were once known as the Great American Desert, but were turned to agriculture by homesteaders during a long period of wetter weather from the 1890s to the 1920s.
