Dalhart Texas Farm, 1938 Dust Bowl

A farm in Dalhart Texas in 1938. The farm was affected by the Dust Bowl but remained occupied, at least in 1938. Others in the same area were abandoned. The owners were hardy people to remain on that land!

The photo was taken by Dorothea Lange for the Farm Security Administration.

Date & Place: June 1938 in Dalhart, Coldwater County, Texas United States of America
