The Cherokee Lowlands is one of the smaller regions in Kansas. The land is flat with very few trees. But the ground contains coal, zinc and clay. Coal brought miners to this region. This region now houses Big Brutus. Big Brutus is one of the biggest coal shovels in the world. But it didn't dig coal it removed overburden so coal strippers could remove the coal.
