and passes through Harvey, Taneytown, Lin
wood, McKinsney's Mill, Taylorsville, Mt Airy,
Ridgeville, Damascus, Laytonsville, Olney,
Sandy Spring, Burnt Mills, Hyattsville and
Bladensburg, and forms junction with the
Baltimore and Potomac about a mile
north of Bennings. From Taylorsville to
Sandy Spring the road follows the crest of
PARIS ridge, commanding a magnificent view
OF the country for miles around. 1t passes
just east of Bladensburg, between this town
and the Shepherds branch of the Baltimore
