The image depicts an abandoned farm in the western Panhandle, specifically Cimarron County in Oklahoma. The scene is monochromatic and shows a stark landscape with dry, cracked earth stretching out to the horizon under a cloudy sky. There are several dilapidated structures including barns and sheds that appear weathered by time and elements. A prominent feature of this farmstead is an old windmill standing tall amidst the desolation, indicative of its past utility in harnessing wind energy for agricultural activities. The surrounding area shows evidence of drought or neglect with no vegetation visible on the ground. This scene reflects a rural American landscape that was heavily affected by severe drought conditions during 1934 and again in 1936 as reported by the Great Plains Committee, leading to federal intervention aimed at relief efforts for struggling families and cattle herders.
