Maryland Route 344 (MD 344) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known as Chicamuxen Road, the state highway runs 2.16 miles (3.48 km) from MD 6 in Doncaster north to MD 224 near Chicamuxen. A connector between MD 6 and MD 224 in western Charles County, MD 344 was originally the southernmost part of MD 224. When MD 224 was rerouted to the west in the mid-1950s, MD 344 was assigned to its present course.
MD 344 begins at an intersection with MD 6 (Port Tobacco Road) in the hamlet of Doncaster. County-maintained Gilroy Road is the south leg of the four-way intersection. The state highway heads northwest as a two-lane undivided road through farmland and forest. MD 344 reaches its northern terminus at a T-intersection with MD 224 near Chicamuxen. Northbound MD 224 heads straight as Chicamuxen Road while southbound MD 224 heads west from the intersection as Riverside Road. [1] [2]
The highway to which MD 344 is now assigned was originally the southern part of MD 224, which extended north to the District of Columbia boundary in Forest Heights. [3] The Doncaster–Chicamuxen portion of MD 224 was constructed in 1930. [4] [5] When MD 224 was placed onto Riverside Road south to Riverside in 1957, MD 344 was assigned to the portion of Chicamuxen Road south of the MD 224–MD 344 intersection. [6]
The entire route is in Charles County.
