Source-derived summary

Maryland Route 366 (MD 366) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known for much of its length as Stockton Road, the state highway runs 11.17 miles (17.98 km) from U.S. Route 13 Business (US 13 Business) in Pocomoke City east to George Island Landing on Chincoteague Bay. MD 366 is the main east–west highway of southern Worcester County, connecting US 13 in Pocomoke City with MD 12 in Stockton. The state highway was constructed starting in the mid-1910s from the Pocomoke City end. MD 366 was completed between Pocomoke City and Stockton in the early 1920s. The state highway was extended east to George Island Landing in the mid-1930s.

Route description

The state highway, marked as Stockton Road, turns south and then east to the intersection with US 13 (Ocean Highway). After crossing the federal highway, MD 366 heads east as a two-lane undivided road, crosses Town Branch and passes Newtown Park.

Editorial summary

“Maryland Route 366” enters the record as highway in Maryland. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Maryland, Route and highway can confirm, complicate or overturn.

Editorial reviewA concise reference frame for defining the subject, testing terminology and identifying the institution closest to the evidence. The current 194-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1927. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Maryland, Route and highway.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Maryland Route 366” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Maryland, Route and highway provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 4, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q2480443. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
