Hello all,

The U.S. Government Information Division has created a new webpage
that we hope you will find interesting.

It examines the question:  is the Dust Bowl returning?  A current
severe drought in the historic area of the 1930's Dust Bowl is
reminding some old-timers of the historic Dust Bowl.

This webpage features a map of the Dust Bowl in Oklahoma that was
surveyed and drawn by the Oklahoma Erosion Survey in 1934.  It was
published by the U.S. Soil Conservation Service.

The webpage also links to a 1936 report on the drought in the
Great Plains states, and to current information about the drought
in the U.S. and Oklahoma.
