Route description
MD 579 begins at the beginning of state maintenance at the southern end of the village of Neavitt. Long Point Road continues south 0.49 mi (0.7885766 km) to its southern terminus, and another road continues south a short distance further to Long Point. MD 579 heads northwest through Neavitt, which sits on Balls Creek to the northeast. The state highway curves north after leaving Neavitt and passes Wells Point Lane, which leads to the Jean Ellen duPont Shehan Audubon Sanctuary. MD 579 continues north through a mix of farms and residences on large, waterfront lots, curving northeast around the head of Leadenham Creek and into the village of Bozman. Within Bozman, the state highway intersects Bush Neck Road, which leads to Bush Neck and the Cooper Point peninsula, which flank Grace Creek. MD 579 heads north out of Bozman, passing through the narrow neck of land between Harris Creek and Broad Creek before reaching the highway's northern terminus at MD 33 (St. Michaels Road) northwest of the town of St. Michaels.History
MD 579 was constructed as a modern road from MD 33 south to just north of Bozman in 1935. The state highway was extended to its present terminus in Neavitt in 1957.Junction list
