MD 264 begins at the intersection of Ballard Rogers Road and Oyster House Road in Broomes Island. Ballard Rogers Road continues south to the end of the peninsula between Island Creek and the Patuxent River that contains the village of Broomes Island, a former oyster canning center. MD 264 heads north as a two-lane undivided road out of the village through a mix of farmland and forest toward the community of Island Creek, where the highway intersects Parkers Wharf Road and Williams Wharf Road. In the village of Mutual, the state highway intersects the northern terminus of MD 265 (Mackall Road) and Laveille Road, which leads west to the historic home La Veille. North of Mutual, MD 264 passes west of Christ Church, which with a founded date of 1672 is the oldest church in Calvert County. The state highway passes a spur of old alignment, Yoes Corner Road (unsigned MD 264A), and reaches its northern terminus at a directional crossover intersection with MD 2/MD 4 (Solomons Island Road) in Port Republic. There is no direct access between MD 264 and MD 765 (St. Leonard Road), which meets the northbound direction of MD 2/MD 4 at an adjacent right-in/right-out intersection.[1][2]
History
MD 264 was constructed as a gravel road around 1923.[3] The state highway followed the alignment of Yoes Corner Road to MD 2/MD 4 until the northern end was moved opposite the northern terminus of the St. Leonard – Port Republic segment of MD 765 around 1985.[3] MD 264's northern terminus was changed from a standard intersection to a directional crossover intersection in 2006.[4]
