Cotton Pickers Camp in Buttonwillow California 1939

Buttonwillow, California, once served as a cotton pickers camp in Kern County. Families lived in the camp in February 1939 after the cotton picking season ended. They stayed for the final harvest due to a shortage of winter housing. This image is part of the FSA/OWI Collection, which documents agricultural labor during the Great Depression.
