A map shows state boundaries in the Great Plains region. A large area is highlighted, with a smaller shaded region within. A Key corresponds to these two highlighted areas, which are labeled as Most damaged area and Other damaged area. The labeled states are Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. The small, centralized shaded shape representing most damaged area touches the top of the Texas panhandle, the entire Oklahoma panhandle, a small portion of the southeast corner of Colorado, and the southwest corner of Kansas. The larger irregular shaded shape, labeled other damaged area, extends north and covers all of western Kansas, reaches across the border into Nebraska, extends west across much of eastern Colorado and part of eastern New Mexico, and south into Texas including the cities of Amarillo and Lubbock. A scale shows 100 miles and 100 kilometers.
