MD 4 becomes known as Southern Maryland Boulevard here, while MD 2 takes the name of Solomons Island Road, the name both routes bear during their concurrency. Dunkirk is five miles to the north, Bristol in far-southern Anne Arundel County 10 miles away, and Upper Marlboro, the seat of Prince George's County, in 16 miles. Photo taken 11-14-2016.
