User:Viridiscalculus/U.S. Route 213

Ocean City to Salisbury
US 213 began at what is now the eastern terminus of US 50 at the intersection of MD 378 (Baltimore Avenue) and North Division Street in downtown Ocean City. The highway headed west along Division Street through the modern intersection with MD 528 (Philadelphia Avenue), expanded to four lanes, and crossed Sinepuxent Bay on the current bridge. US 213 became a divided highway on the west side of the bay. The highway did not meet the northern end of MD 611, which still had its terminus at the old road, MD 707 (Old Bridge Road). US 213 met the western end of MD 707 just east of its dual bridges across Herring Run. US 213 became a two-lane road west of Herring Run. The highway followed MD 707 and then the present alignment. US 213 began to follow MD 707 again from east of McAllister Road to just west of the MD 452 (Friendship Road) intersection. The U.S. Highway did not have an intersection with MD 589 because the latter highway did not yet extend south to Grays Corner.

US 213 briefly followed US 50's present alignment, then continued southwest along what is now MD 346 (Old Ocean City Road) toward Berlin, which the highway bypassed to the north. The highway veered west at the northern end of MD 377 (Williams Street), had a grade crossing of the Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia Branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and intersected US 113 (Main Street). US 213 turned northwest and paralleled the Baltimore and Eastern Railroad before crossing to the south side of the railroad at an oblique crossing just south of where MD 346 begins to parallel US 50. The highway continued along MD 346's current path parallel to US 50, then curved north to the village of St. Martin and northwest to Whaleysville. US 213 did not intersect MD 610, which then ended at Sheppards Crossing Road to the north. West of Whaleysville, the highway crossed the Pocomoke River from Worcester County into Wicomico County.

US 213 continued along MD 346's present course across Burnt Mill Branch and into the town of Willards, where the highway intersected MD 354 (Main Street). The highway met the southern end of MD 353 (Gumboro Road) as it passed along the southern edge of Pittsville. US 213 crossed to the north side of the Baltimore and Eastern Railroad between Pittsville and Parsonsburg, where the highway briefly paralleled the railroad. In the village of Walston, the highway returned to the south side of the railroad. US 213 entered the city of Salisbury at the intersection of Church Street and Main Street. The original MD 346 followed Church Street and US 213 veered southwest along Main Street and met the western end of MD 350 (Mount Hermon Road). The U.S. Highway continued along Main Street, met the northern end of MD 12 (Snow Hill Road), passed under the New York, Pennsylvania and Norfolk Branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and intersected US 13 (Salisbury Boulevard). US 213 passed through downtown Salisbury and crossed over the Wicomico River on a drawbridge; this drawbridge is presently designated MD 991. The highway continued northwest along Main Street and intersected MD 349 (Nanticoke Road) before leaving the city of Salisbury at a grade crossing of the Baltimore and Eastern Railroad.

Salisbury to Cambridge
US 213 headed northwest from Salisbury along US 50's present alignment. At MD 670 (Lillian Street), the U.S. Highway veered onto Memory Gardens Lane, which crossed Rewastico Creek and reconnected with the present alignment at MD 347 (Quantico Road) north of Hebron. US 213 also deviated from the present alignment along Olde Florist Lane. East of Mardela Springs, the highway veered onto Barren Creek Road, crossed Barren Creek, and met the western end of MD 467, which is now MD 54. US 213 followed current MD 54 and MD 313 west and entered the town of Mardela Springs along Main Street. The highway intersected the Baltimore and Eastern Railroad in the center of town and reconnected with the present alignment west of the town. Where US 50 now veers north to cross the Nanticoke River on its bypass of Vienna, US 213 continued straight along Marsh Road, a short segment of which is MD 731. The highway passed through a marsh before crossing the river on a drawbridge into Dorchester County.

US 213 passed to the north of the center of the town of Vienna as MD 331 (Rhodesdale Vienna Road) curved north with the railroad toward Rhodesdale. The highway had an oblique intersection with Race Street and followed what is now Old Route 50 west to reconnect with the present alignment of US 50. Just west of Big Millpond, an impoundment of the Chicamacomico River, US 213 followed Maiden Forest Road, Middletown Branch Road, Salem Road, and Mill Road through the village of Salem. The highway followed Vincent Road through Linkwood, where the road intersected Cambridge Branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad. US 213 crossed the Transquaking River and used Hicksburg Road and Chateau Lane before rejoining the present alignment to reach its intersection with MD 16 (Mount Holly Road) at Mount Holly. US 213 and MD 16 crossed Hurst Creek then veered onto Aireys Spur Road, where they met the northern end of MD 397 (Aireys Road). The highways crossed to the north of the present alignment and followed MD 750 (Old Route 50) before rejoining the present alignment for the run-in to Cambridge.

US 213 and MD 16 met the southern end of MD 479, which was a spur into Eastern Shore State Hospital, then entered the city of Cambridge at Woods Road. The highways followed Washington Street, which is now MD 343, to just west of Crusader Road. There, MD 16 continued west along Washington Street and US 213 turned north onto Sunburst Highway, a four-lane divided highway, eventually rejoining the present alignment of US 50. The U.S. Highway met the eastern end of MD 343 (Maryland Avenue). Just south of the Choptank River, US 213 veered off the present alignment and crossed the river on the two-lane Emerson C. Harrington Bridge. Much of the drawbridge is preserved next to US 50's Frederick C. Malkus Bridge as a pair of fishing piers from the Dorchester and Talbot County sides of the river.

Cambridge to Wye Mills
US 213 continued as a two-lane highway along US 50's present alignment to Trappe. At the southern end of the town, the highway met the southern end of MD 565 (Main Street). US 213 continued along the present alignment and met the other end of MD 565 just south of Peach Blossom Creek. The highway continued along MD 322 (Easton Parkway) and then MD 565 (Washington Street). US 213 had an oblique intersection with the Oxford Branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad and crossed Paper Mill Pond. The highway entered the town of Easton north of its intersection with MD 333 (Peachblossom Road) and intersected the Baltimore and Eastern Railroad. In downtown Easton, the highway met the eastern end of MD 334 (Port Street), the northern end of MD 331 (Dover Street), the western end of MD 328 (Goldsborough Street), and the eastern end of MD 33 (Bay Street).

North of downtown Easton, US 213 crossed over Tanyard Branch and crossed the path of MD 322 (Easton Parkway) to follow MD 662 (Centreville Road). The U.S. Highway merged into the present alignment of US 50 just south of Cordova Road, which was formerly MD 309. North of Easton Airport, US 213 veered back west onto MD 662 (Longwoods Road). The highway crossed Potts Mill Creek and passed through the village of Longwoods. US 213 continued along the Old Skipton Road segment of MD 662, crossing Skipton Creek, then used the present alignment. The highway veered west onto the last segment of MD 662, Old Wye Mills Road, and veered north at Mill Creek. US 213 intersected MD 404 (Queen Anne Highway) within the village of Wye Mills and ran concurrently with MD 404 across the East Wye River into Queen Anne's County.

Wye Mills to Chestertown
Just north of the East Wye River, MD 404 (Wye Mills Road) split northwest toward Queenstown and US 213 followed what is now MD 213. North of what is now the US 50 intersection, the highway intersected the Baltimore and Eastern Railroad and met the northern end of MD 303 (Starr Road). US 213 followed the present alignment with minor deviations north to MD 18 (4-H Park Road) on the southern edge of Centreville. The highway crossed the Mill Stream Branch of the Corsica River and used Liberty Street through the center of town. At the courthouse square, US 213 met the western end of MD 304 (Water Street) and the eastern end of MD 606 (Broadway). The highway left town by crossing Gravel Run then met the western end of MD 305 (Hope Road) and crossed the Three Bridges Branch of the Corsica River.

US 213 followed the present alignment of MD 213 with minor deviations and crossed Island Creek and the Granny Finley Branch of that creek on its way from Centreville to Church Hill. The highway crossed Southeast Creek and passed through the town of Church Hill along Main Street, which now comprises MD 19A and MD 19. US 213 intersected MD 300 (Sudlersville Road) before briefly rejoining the present alignment. North of Browns Branch, the U.S. Highway veered north along a road that no longer exists then turned west onto John Powell Road to rejoin the present alignment. US 213 followed the present alignment through the MD 544 (McGinnes Road) intersection and the village of Kingstown before crossing the Chester River on the present drawbridge into the town of Chestertown and Kent County.

Chestertown to Elkton
US 213 followed the present alignment along the eastern edge of downtown Chestertown; the highway followed Maple Avenue and had intersections with MD 20 (Queen Street) and MD 530 (Cross Street). The U.S. Highway veered north onto Washington Avenue and met the western end of MD 447 (Morgnec Road), which followed what is now Hadaway Drive. US 213 intersected the southern end of MD 297 (Worton Road) and crossed a branch of Morgan Creek southwest of its junction with MD 561 (Lynch Road) at Hassengers Corner. US 213 met the southern end of MD 292 (Still Pond Road) before intersecting MD 448 (Kennedyville Road), the original MD 662 (Turners Creek Road), and the Chestertown Branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad in the village of Kennedyville. Northeast of Kennedyville, US 213 met Lambs Meadow Road (now part of MD 298). US 213 followed Shallcross Wharf Road northeast through an intersection with MD 444 (Locust Grove Road) to Locust Grove, then followed Old Locust Grove Road to return to the present alignment of MD 213. The highway crossed Woodland Creek along Daves Hill Road south of the present alignment.

US 213 entered Galena from the west along Cross Street and exited the town to the north on Main Street; however, the intersection in the center of town was a three-way state highway intersection with MD 313; MD 290 did not yet pass through Galena to follow the east leg of the intersection. US 213 followed the present alignment north to the Kent–Cecil county line at the Sassafras River, where the highway crossed a drawbridge between the villages of Georgetown and Fredericktown. US 213 followed the present alignment with minor deviations through Cecilton to the highway's drawbridge over the Bohemia River near Hack's Point. At Cayots Corner, the U.S. Highway turned east along what is now MD 310 (Cayots Corner Road), then north again to rejoin the present alignment.

South of Chesapeake City, US 213 followed Basil Avenue to the west of the current course of MD 213, then swapped to the east side of the present alignment and met the northern end of MD 342 (St. Augustine Road) along what is now unsigned MD 537 (George Street). The U.S. Highway met MD 286 (Second Street) in the south side of the town before reaching the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal. US 213 used a ferry to cross the canal due to the destruction of the lift bridge at the site in 1942. On the north side of town, the highway met the western end of MD 285 (Biddle Street) and followed Lock Street north out of town. US 213 intersected MD 284 (Hemphill Street) at the north end of town and followed the line of that street north to the west side of the present alignment. The highway followed Spears Hill Road, Elk Forest Road, and Knights Corner Road north before returning to the present alignment. US 213 followed the present alignment north across Perch Creek to its northern terminus at US 40 (Pulaski Highway) south of the town of Elkton. The roadway continued north as MD 280, which crossed Big Elk Creek and entered Elkton as Bridge Street.
