The vast area of the southern High Plains that was severely impacted by a drought in the 1930s became known as the Dust Bowl. The top soil had been blown away in a majority of the region. After the top soil disappeared, the wind lifted up silt, grit and loose dirt and created black clouds and dust storms.
