Ragged Top (also Balmoral) is a ghost town in Lawrence County, South Dakota, United States.

[1] Ragged Top also referred to the mining district which also encompassed the nearby towns (all now abandoned) of Preston, Cyanide, Dacy, and Balmoral.

Some of the mining companies in the area were the Dacy, Deadwood Standard, Eva H. & Silver Tongue, Eagle Bird, American Mining Company, Ulster, Old Ironsides, Victoria, Metallic Streak, and Spearfish Gold Mining and Milling Company.

[2] The town itself was soon abandoned due to the extreme difficulty of transporting the ore to the smelters.
