As the entire world is a desert, and a desert rich in resources, there are several hundred mining towns scattered across the surface.
Dustbowl is just one of them.
The land of the lawless is the host of numerous criminals, both dimension hopping and stuck there. Don't have to go far to find the bad guys, just aim your gun and shoot.
It's everyone for themselves out here, so we advise you to not upset the locals.
Unless your draw is quicker than theirs, of course.
