context_page_description: Maryland Route 335 is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. The state highway runs 16.36 miles from the upper end of Hooper's Island north to MD 16 in Church Creek. MD 335 provides access to several communities along the Honga River in southern Dorchester County. The state highway also passes through Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge. MD 335 was designated as one of the original state roads, but only the portion of the highway from Crossroads to the Blackwater River was completed by the early 1920s. The highway was constructed from Crossroads to Golden Hill in the mid-1920s, from Crossroads to Church Creek in the late 1920s, and from Golden Hill to Hooper's Island with the completion of a modern bridge over Fishing Creek in 1934.
context_section_description: MD 335 begins in the village of Honga on Upper Hooper's Island just south of Applegarth Road.  Hoopers Island Road continues south through Upper Hooper's Island and Middle Hooper's Island to the villages of Fishing Creek and Hoopersville.  MD 335 heads north as two-lane undivided Hoopers Island Road on a high-level bridge across Fishing Creek, a strait between Tar Bay and the Honga River.  After heading north up Meekins Neck, the state highway curves to the east and enters the Great Marsh.  Within the marsh, MD 335 intersects Smithville Road at the settlement of Golden Hill between crossings of Great Marsh Creek and Spicer Creek, which flow into the Honga River estuary.  The state highway continues southeast where it crosses Wallace Creek before intersecting MD 336 (Lakesville Road) in the hamlet of Crossroads.  MD 335 turns north onto Golden Hill Road and enters a series of swamps that make up Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge.  After the state highway traverses the Blackwater River, the road heads past the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Visitor Center which is located within Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad State Park. The road passes by Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Historical Park and the Chesapeake Forest Lands, running through farmland.  MD 335 crosses Birch Dam Creek before entering the town of Church Creek. There, the highway reaches its northern terminus at MD 16, which is named Church Creek Road north toward Cambridge and Taylors Island Road headed west. A park and ride lot is located south of this intersection.
