On the Road
Based on a survey by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics in the 1939’s, roughly 116,000 families settled in California. 43% of them had been farmers in the Dust Bowl.
Modern jalopies made this exodus possible. Though some families are also known to have set out on foot to California.
This massive migration out of the Dust Bowl was made possible by modern transportation.
