Plot it between 40 thousand and 50 thousand, but plot it much closer to 40 thousand (than 50 thousand).

A more accurate way is to divide the interval from 40 thousand to 50 thousand up into 10 equal intervals. The number 40923.5 will be very very close to the first tick mark on the very left (since it's close to 41 thousand).
