By the time the actual storm had hit, there was a sudden change in weather that caught many new settlers by surprise. The territories were made up of…

But these homesteads were quickly claimed, and so later settlers would have to go to new depths to find water. That means digging well. Often a new settler would dig a test well on a potential claim.
