Maryland Route 658 (MD 658) is an unsigned state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. The state highway runs 0.84 miles (1.35 km) from MD 53 north to U.S. Route 40 Alternate (US 40 Alternate) within La Vale. MD 658 is part of US 220 Truck, which provides access from Interstate 68 (I-68) west of La Vale to US 220 south for trucks due to a truck prohibition on the eastbound exit ramp for I-68's interchange with US 220.[2] MD 658 was originally assigned to Campground Road in the late 1930s. The state highway was extended south over Vocke Road in the late 1940s.

MD 658 begins at an intersection with MD 53 (Winchester Road) in La Vale. The state highway heads northeast as Vocke Road, a four-lane divided highway. MD 658 passes the Country Club Mall and the District 6 offices of the Maryland State Highway Administration before intersecting a segment of Braddock Road, which is unsigned MD 949. The state highway intersects entrance and exit ramps from Exit 40 of eastbound I-68 and US 40 (National Freeway). MD 658 passes under the freeway and meets an exit ramp from westbound I-68 and the western terminus of MD 49 (Braddock Road) at the next intersection, where the highway's name changes to Campground Road. The state highway turns north, crossing Braddock Run and reducing to a four-lane undivided highway before reaching its northern terminus at US 40 Alternate (National Pike).[1][3]
MD 658 was assigned to Campground Road as a connector between US 40 and MD 49 in 1939.[4] The state highway was extended south along Vocke Road to MD 53 around 1948.[5][6] MD 658 was expanded to a divided highway from MD 53 to MD 49 around 1972 in conjunction with the construction of I-68 through La Vale.[7]
The entire route is in La Vale in Allegany County.
