Once ran through center of Cambridge turning northeast on High Street, then east on Maryland Ave to US 50. Washington St between High and Race Streets was MD 551; east of Race St was part of MD 16. Current configuration along Washington St dates from between 1966-70.

MD 344 · Chicamuxen Rd
2.16 mi.; from MD 224 east to MD 6.

Marked east-west.

This route was once the southernmost end of MD 224. It seems odd these days as 344 is closer to 224's northern end than anything. But way back when 224 went north all the way to the DC border. The changeover from 244 to 344 occurred sometime between 1955 and 1960. MD 224's current route south of current 344 had been designated MD 563. MD 344 was previously named Gilroy Rd.

Vienna
MD 344 ·
from indeterminate point in Cambridge east to current MD 331, Vienna.

No longer assigned (decommissioned c. 1940), entire route now part of US 50.

Prior to 1940, when the Choptank River bridge opened, what is now US 50 west of Vienna was designated MD 344. Its associated secret-obscure number was 750, so current 750 has nothing to do with current US 50 at all, just a very strange coincidence. Anyway, after 1940 this route became part of US 213, changing to US 50 in 1949.

Status: Decommissioned 1955, transferred to Wicomico County maintenance. (SHA Min. 11-23-1955, Effective 11-23-1955).

This appears to be the original 351 that would have fit into the clustering system. Dropped in 1955 along with a slew of other routes in the area. MD 513 now parallels the road a few blocks northeast, the new US 13 overpasses with no access.

MD 351 Wicomico Co.MD 351 south of Salisbury on the 1939 MD official map. MD 663 would have been Camden Ave. MD 529 still exists further south near Princess Anne.

MD 355 · Urbana Pike, Worthington Blvd [Urbana], Frederick Rd, Rockville Pike, Wisconsin Ave
41.04 mi.; from US 15 north of Frederick south to DC line.

Marked north-south.

MD 355 is the original routing of US 240, prior to construction of Washington National Pike (current I-270) in stages beginning in the early 1950s. As sections were completed, the routing of US 240 was moved over to sections then open, and the old sections designated MD 355. The interchange with I-70 was removed in 2009, replaced with an interchange further east, with the extended MD 85. The northern terminus was also rolled back to I-70 south of Frederick in that year, although 355 signage remains in Frederick for the time being.

New construction in Urbana resulted in the eastward rerouting of MD 355 in 2009, with the opening of the new Worthington Blvd, which crosses, but is mostly north of, MD 80. The original Urbana Pike was signed as Business MD 355 at its northern end. It has been touted as a bypass, but is more of a thruway, as new subdivisions and retail will line the new road. This project also includes the dualization of MD 80 east of I-270 in Urbana and in the vicinity of the new MD 355.

Crisfield
MD 358 · Jacksonville Rd
1.13 mi.; N off 413 to Janes Island State Park.

Marked north-south.

A small piece of MD 358 remains north off MD 413. Once extended south through Crisfield along Somerset Ave as well. The part in Crisfield was turned over to municipal maintenance in 1956. All routes south of Crisfield except MD 380 (which remains) was dropped by 1973. The map from 1967 says it all.

The piece that remains today was once numbered MD 475. Sometime between the 1940-46 map editions (in the wartime period when no maps were printed), MD 358 took over this portion. From 1956-1973, MD 358 was a split route, when the (original) southern portion was dropped.

Signed north-south, but only at north end (MD 756).

So named as it was the first bypass of US 113, which had originally used current MD 756. Dead-ends now as it was itself bypassed to the east by the current US 113.

MD 359 now dead-ends at the American Legion hall on the corner of US 13 and 113. Connection is made with 113 a few hundred yards to the north via MD 359B, American Legion Dr.

Sections of MD 359:
