Köppen climate type:
Lead-zinc district about 350 square kilometers (72 square miles) in area extent, located in Cherokee County, Kansas, and Ottawa County, Oklahoma, a few miles west of the Missouri line. Mined from the 1870s to the 1970s.
The Picher field contained approximately 1,500 mine shafts and over 100,000 boreholes by the time mining ceased. Ore-bearing formations were located in Mississippian aged units, primarily in the Meramec and Osage series, commonly referred to as the Boone formation. The Boone formation is approximately 120 meters thick and was originally limestone. However, erosion and deformation of the limestone resulted in the deposition of cotton rock, nodular chert, and fossiliferous dolomite, all of which contained ore-bearing inclusions.
The former town/city of Picher was dis-incorporated in 2009 and declared uninhabitable due to past mining and environmental health issues.
