Maryland Route 352
highway in Maryland
Maryland Route 352 (MD 352) is an east–west state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. The state highway runs 10.03 miles (16.14 km) between intersections with MD 349 near Bivalve on the west and near Quantico on the east. The Whitehaven Road portion of MD 352 was constructed as a state highway from Catchpenny west to Green Hill Creek in the early 1930s. The state highway was extended south to Whitehaven, the north landing of the Whitehaven Ferry, by 1946. The Capitola Road portion of MD 352 was originally designated MD 385 in the late 1940s and absorbed into MD 352 in the 1960s.

Why this record matters
The phrase “highway in Maryland” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 17, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2480420. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1946.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. 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.
