Baxter Springs Halal Travel Guide

The area from Joplin, Missouri through Galena (Kansas) | Galena, Riverton and Baxter Springs, Kansas to Miami (Oklahoma)#Picher|Picher, Oklahoma was lead and zinc mining country, extracting galena (lead sulphide) ore until the 1960s. The closure of the mines, followed by the bypassing of US Route 66 by Interstate highways, led to a decline in the local economy and a drop in local population.

As mining was never permitted within the Baxter Springs city limits and the town escaped the ecological damage which turned nearby Picher into a ghost town. The original motels and campgrounds which served motorists on the dozen miles of US Route 66 in Kansas are now gone, but portions of the city's Route 66 legacy live on to attract visitors today.
