Jacksonville Road continues north as a county highway toward Crisfield Municipal Airport.
. The Asbury Road segment connected Crisfield with Sackertown Road, which was once MD 360. Another section of MD 358 was paved from the Pennsylvania Railroad
(now the MD 413 corridor) to its present northern terminus in 1933; this segment was originally designated MD 475. MD 358 was extended north along Somerset Avenue to Chesapeake Avenue (MD 667) by 1939 and to its present northern terminus by 1946, assuming MD 475. The state highway along Somerset Avenue was widened from Main Street to MD 413 around 1954. MD 358 was removed from the state highway system south of MD 413 by 1995. The state highway was relocated at Box Iron Road to eliminate two sharp curves between 1988 and 1999.
