[edit] Route description

Maryland Route 6 begins its nominally west-to-east progression in Charles County at the Potomac River near the unincorporated town of Riverside. It starts as Port Tobacco Road until it reaches US 301 in La Plata where it becomes Charles Street. When it crosses into Saint Mary's County, it becomes New Market Road, then New Market Turner Road after crossing MD 5. The road ends at MD 235 near Turner, Maryland.
