Maryland Route 565 (MD 565) is a collection of state highways in the U.S. state of Maryland. These highways are sections of old alignment of U.S. Route 213 (US 213), the predecessor route to US 50, between Trappe and Easton. The two mainline sections of MD 565 run from Trappe to US 50 south of Easton and within the southern part of Easton. MD 565 was assigned to the Trappe–Easton section in the early 1940s when US 213 was moved to a new alignment between Trappe and Peach Blossom Creek in southern Talbot County. MD 565A was designated in the late 1950s in the southern part of Easton and extended north of the downtown area in the mid-1960s. Portions of MD 565 were returned to municipal maintenance in Easton and Trappe in the mid-1980s and late 1990s.
There are two mainline sections of MD 565:
MD 565 begins as Main Street in the center of the town of Trappe. Main Street continues south 0.59 miles (0.95 km) from Maple Avenue as a municipal street to a junction with US 50. The state highway heads north as a two-lane undivided road and its name changes to Easton Trappe Road on leaving the town after passing White Marsh Road. A short distance north of Llandaff Road near the hamlet of Llandaff a short distance south of Peach Blossom Creek, MD 565 turns sharply to the east and reaches its northern terminus at US 50 (Ocean Gateway). [1] [2]
MD 565A, which is known as Washington Street, begins at an intersection with MD 322 (Easton Parkway) a short distance north of MD 322's southern intersection with US 50. After crossing Paper Mill Pond, the two-lane undivided state highway reaches its northern terminus at Lee Terrace. Washington Street, which was once part of a longer MD 565A, continues north as a municipal street into downtown Easton. [1] [3]
MD 565 was assigned to the old alignment of US 213 between Trappe and Peach Blossom Creek south of Easton by 1946 after US 213 was moved to a new alignment, presently used by US 50, in 1941. [4] [5] MD 565A was assigned to Washington Street south of MD 33 in 1958. [6] MD 565A was extended north to Easton Parkway in 1965 when MD 33 was assigned to the northern part of Easton Parkway. [7] The MD 565A designation was removed from Washington Street north of downtown Easton in 1985. [8] The remainder of MD 565A north of Lee Terrace was transferred to the town of Easton in 1999. The portion of Main Street south of MD 565's present southern terminus was transferred to the town of Trappe in 1999. [9]
The entire route is in Talbot County.

MD 565B is the designation for an unnamed 0.14-mile (0.23 km) service road that continues straight, to serve as a driveway for an auto dealership, from MD 565 just before that highway's northern terminus at US 50. [1] [10]
Maryland Route 18 (MD 18) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. The state highway runs 20.37 miles (32.78 km) from the beginning of state maintenance at Love Point east to MD 213 in Centreville. MD 18 is the main east–west local highway on Kent Island and east to Centreville, serving the centers of Stevensville, Chester, Kent Narrows, Grasonville, and Queenstown that are bypassed by U.S. Route 50 (US 50)/US 301. What is signed as MD 18 is actually a set of four suffixed highways: MD 18A, MD 18B, MD 18S, and MD 18C. There are also several unsigned segments of MD 18 scattered along the length of the signed portions.
Maryland Route 8 is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known for most of its length as Romancoke Road, the state highway runs 8.37 miles (13.47 km) from Romancoke Pier in Romancoke north to MD 18 in Stevensville. MD 8 is the main north–south highway of Kent Island in western Queen Anne's County. The state highway is also the first highway encountered on U.S. Route 50 /US 301 east of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. South of Matapeake, MD 8 is paralleled by the Kent Island South Trail.
Maryland Route 213 (MD 213) is a 68.25-mile (109.84 km) state highway located on the Eastern Shore of Maryland in the United States. The route runs from MD 662 in Wye Mills, Queen Anne's County, north to the Pennsylvania border in Cecil County, where the road continues into that state as Pennsylvania Route 841 (PA 841). The route, which is a two-lane undivided highway most of its length, passes through mainly rural areas as well as the towns of Centreville, Chestertown, Galena, Cecilton, Chesapeake City, and Elkton. MD 213 intersects many routes including U.S. Route 50 (US 50) near Wye Mills, US 301 near Centreville, and US 40 in Elkton. It crosses over the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal in Chesapeake City on the Chesapeake City Bridge. MD 213 is designated by the state as the Chesapeake Country Scenic Byway between the southern terminus and Chesapeake City with the portion north of MD 18 in Centreville a National Scenic Byway. In addition, the route is also considered part of the Atlantic to Appalachians Scenic Byway between Chesapeake City and MD 273 in Fair Hill.
Maryland Route 404 (MD 404) is a major highway on Maryland's Eastern Shore in the United States. It runs 24.61 miles (39.61 km) from MD 662 in Wye Mills on the border of Queen Anne's and Talbot counties, southeast to the Delaware state line in Caroline County, where the road continues as Delaware Route 404 (DE 404) to the Five Points intersection near Rehoboth Beach. The Maryland and Delaware state highways together cross the width of the Delmarva Peninsula and serve to connect the Baltimore–Washington Metropolitan Area by way of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and U.S. Route 50 (US 50) with the Delaware Beaches. Along the way, MD 404 passes through mostly farmland and woodland as well as the towns of Queen Anne, Hillsboro, and Denton. The route is a four-lane divided highway between US 50 and east of Denton, with the remainder of the route a two-lane undivided road.
Maryland Route 16 (MD 16) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. The state highway runs 51.06 miles (82.17 km) from Taylors Island east to the Delaware state line in Hickman, where the highway continues as Delaware Route 16 (DE 16). MD 16 connects Cambridge with several communities in northern Dorchester County and southwestern Caroline County, including East New Market and Preston. The state highway runs concurrently with U.S. Route 50 (US 50) near Cambridge, MD 331 between East New Market and Preston, and both MD 404 and MD 313 near Andersontown. MD 16 was constructed between Church Creek and Preston as one of the original state roads in the early and mid-1910s. The highway was extended in both directions in the late 1910s: north to what was to be designated MD 313 near Denton and west to Taylors Island. MD 16 was extended through Andersontown to the Delaware state line in the early 1930s. MD 16's bypass of Cambridge was constructed in the mid-1960s.
Maryland Route 328 is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. The state highway runs 15.24 mi (24.53 km) from U.S. Route 50 in Easton east to just north of MD 404 in West Denton. MD 328 connects Easton with Denton, passing through eastern Talbot County and a neck of land in Caroline County between the Choptank River and Tuckahoe Creek. MD 328 was constructed in Talbot County in the late 1910s between downtown Easton and a point west of Matthews. The state highway was constructed in Caroline County in the late 1920s and early 1930s, and was originally designated MD 457. The gap between the two highways was filled in the late 1940s and included a modern bridge over Tuckahoe Creek. MD 328's western terminus was moved to US 50 in the early 1960s. In West Denton, the highway was relocated and extended north to present MD 404 in the early 1980s.
Maryland Route 7 (MD 7) is a collection of state highways in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known for much of their length as Philadelphia Road, there are five disjoint mainline sections of the highway totaling 40.23 miles (64.74 km) that parallel U.S. Route 40 (US 40) in Baltimore, Harford, and Cecil counties in northeastern Maryland. The longest section of MD 7 begins at US 40 just east of the city of Baltimore in Rosedale and extends through eastern Baltimore County and southern Harford County to US 40 in Aberdeen. The next segment of the state highway is a C-shaped route through Havre de Grace on the west bank of the Susquehanna River. The third mainline section of MD 7 begins in Perryville on the east bank of the Susquehanna River and ends at US 40 a short distance west of the start of the fourth section, which passes through Charlestown and North East before ending at US 40, just west of Elkton. The fifth segment of the highway begins at South Street and passes through the eastern part of Elkton before reconnecting with US 40 east of Elkton and west of the Delaware state line.
U.S. Route 50 is a major east–west route of the U.S. Highway system, stretching just over 3,000 miles (4,800 km) from Ocean City, Maryland, on the Atlantic Ocean to West Sacramento, California. In the U.S. state of Maryland, US 50 exists in two sections. The longer of these serves as a major route connecting Washington, D.C. with Ocean City; the latter is the eastern terminus of the highway. The other section passes through the southern end of Garrett County for less than 10 miles (16 km) as part of the Northwestern Turnpike, entering West Virginia at both ends. One notable section of US 50 is the dual-span Chesapeake Bay Bridge across the Chesapeake Bay, which links the Baltimore–Washington metropolitan area with the Eastern Shore region, allowing motorists to reach Ocean City and the Delaware Beaches.
Maryland Route 331 (MD 331) is a 28.74-mile (46.25 km) state highway on the Eastern Shore of Maryland in the United States. The route runs from Vienna in Dorchester County northwest to Easton in Talbot County, intersecting U.S. Route 50 (US 50) at both ends. MD 331 is a two-lane undivided road most of its length that passes mostly through agricultural areas. The road also passes through the communities of Hurlock and Preston along the way. It encounters several routes during its journey, including MD 14 near Rhodesdale and MD 16 in the Preston area, both of which the route forms concurrencies with. In addition, the route also intersects with MD 392 and MD 307 in Hurlock and with MD 318 near Preston.
Maryland Route 33 is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. The state highway runs 23.17 mi (37.29 km) from Tilghman Island east to Washington Street in Easton. MD 33 connects Easton, the county seat of Talbot County, with all communities on the peninsula that juts west into the Chesapeake Bay between the Miles River and Eastern Bay on the north and the Tred Avon River and Choptank River on the south. The state highway passes through the historic town of Saint Michaels, home of the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum, and enters Tilghman Island by passing over Knapps Narrows on the busiest bascule drawbridge in the United States.
Maryland Route 333 is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. The state highway runs 9.79 miles (15.76 km) from the terminal of the seasonal Oxford–Bellevue Ferry in Oxford north to Washington Street in Easton within southwestern Talbot County. MD 333 was constructed between Trippe Creek and Easton in the 1910s. The highway was extended to Oxford in the late 1920s. In Easton, MD 333 was assigned to the southern part of Washington Street between 1948 and 1959 after U.S. Route 213 bypassed the town.
Maryland Route 322 (MD 322) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known as Easton Parkway, the highway runs 5.12 miles (8.24 km) on the west side of Easton between two junctions with U.S. Route 50 (US 50). MD 322 serves as a bypass of downtown Easton for traffic between US 50 and highways to western Talbot County, including MD 33 toward Saint Michaels and Tilghman Island and MD 333 toward Oxford. Easton Parkway was constructed in the mid to late 1960s. The state highway was originally designated as part of MD 33; MD 322 became the sole designation on the bypass in 1978.
Maryland Route 662 is a collection of state highways in the U.S. state of Maryland. These highways are sections of old alignment of U.S. Route 50 between Easton and Wye Mills in Talbot County and Queen Anne's County. The three mainline sections of MD 662 pass through the villages of Longwoods, Skipton, and Wye Mills as they parallel US 50. The three main sections of MD 662 were designated in 1948 following the construction of US 50's bypasses of Easton and Wye Mills. MD 662C was extended south in Easton in the late 1990s.
Maryland Route 309 is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. The state highway runs 18.50 miles (29.77 km) from U.S. Route 50 in Easton north to MD 213 south of Centreville. MD 309 is a C-shaped highway that passes through northeastern Talbot County and southeastern Queen Anne's County, connecting Easton and Centreville with Queen Anne, where the highway intersects MD 404. MD 309 was originally designated along the highway between Easton and Queen Anne. The highway was constructed south from Queen Anne to Cordova in the late 1920s along MD 303's current course and from Cordova to Easton in the early 1930s. In 1955, MD 309 gained its northern segment by assuming MD 303, which originally followed the Queen Anne–Centreville portion of the present MD 309. When MD 309 moved to a new alignment between Cordova and Queen Anne in the early 1960s, MD 303 was assigned to the old alignment.
Maryland Route 343 is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known for most of its length as Hudson Road, the state highway runs 11.29 miles (18.17 km) from Hudson in northwestern Dorchester County east to U.S. Route 50 in Cambridge. MD 343 was paved in the late 1920s and early 1930s. The state highway originally passed through downtown Cambridge, ending just west of its present terminus. After the original Choptank River Bridge was completed in the mid-1930s, MD 343 was truncated to Sunburst Highway. In the mid-1950s, the state highway was rerouted along Washington Street to Race Street, where it ended at MD 16. Finally, MD 343 was extended to its present terminus when MD 16 bypassed Cambridge in the late 1960s.
Maryland Route 346 (MD 346) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. The state highway runs 23.72 miles (38.17 km) from U.S. Route 50 Business (US 50 Business) in Salisbury east to US 50 in Berlin. MD 346 is the old alignment of US 50 between Salisbury and Berlin, connecting those cities with Parsonsburg, Pittsville, and Willards in eastern Wicomico County and Whaleyville in northern Worcester County. Much of what is now MD 346 was built as the original state road between Salisbury and Ocean City in the mid-1910s. The highway was designated US 213 in 1927 and changed to US 50 in 1949. MD 346 was first applied to Church Street in Salisbury in the 1940s; this designation was removed in 1954. MD 346 was reassigned in the mid-1960s to the old alignments of US 50 left behind after US 50's bypass of Berlin opened in the late 1950s and the US 50 divided highway was completed between Salisbury and Berlin in the mid-1960s.
Maryland Route 452 is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known as Friendship Road, the state highway runs 1.64 miles (2.64 km) from U.S. Route 50 near Berlin north to MD 575 in Friendship in northern Worcester County. MD 452 was built as a cut-off between US 213 and US 113 in the early 1930s.
U.S. Route 50 Business is a business route of U.S. Route 50 in the U.S. state of Maryland. The highway runs 6.88 miles (11.07 km) from US 50 on the northwest side of Salisbury to US 13 and US 50 on the east side of Salisbury in central Wicomico County. US 50 Business is a four- to six-lane divided highway within and on either side of the central business district of Salisbury, where the highway intersects MD 349, US 13 Business, and MD 346. US 50 Business west of MD 349 is a mid-1950s upgrade of the original highway entering Salisbury from the northwest. The business route between MD 349 and MD 346 was a relocation of US 50 from Main Street built in the early 1960s. East of MD 346, US 50 Business is part of the relocation of US 50 between Salisbury and Berlin completed in the mid-1960s. US 50 Business was designated when the US 50 portion of the Salisbury Bypass was completed in 2002.
Maryland Route 707 is a collection of state highways in the U.S. state of Maryland. These four highways are sections of the old alignment of U.S. Route 213 in northeastern Worcester County. These stretches of highway were bypassed and designated part of MD 707 in the early 1940s in West Ocean City and in the late 1940s in Grays Corner.
