Ragged Top Mountain

Ragged Top Mountain is a summit located in the Trinity Range in the U.S. state of Nevada.[1] The elevation is 6,316 feet (1,925 m).[1]

Ragged Top Mountain was so named for its jagged peak, which is likened to ruins.[2]

In 1867, Timothy H. O'Sullivan took pictures of the area as part of the Geological Exploration of the Fortieth Parallel.[3]
