Maitland, originally called Garden City and sometimes misspelled Midland, is a ghost town in Lawrence County, South Dakota, United States. It was a mining community that boomed during the Black Hills Gold Rush, but was abandoned by about 1915.[2]

Today many parts of the area are residential and include Maitland Ridge and Paradise Acres.[citation needed]
