Maryland Route 365 (MD 365) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known for most of its length as Public Landing Road, the state highway runs 6.29 miles (10.12 km) from U.S. Route 113 Business (US 113 Business) in Snow Hill east to Public Landing Wharf Road at Public Landing. MD 365 was constructed between 1924 and 1929.

Route description

MD 365 begins at an intersection with US 113 Business (Market Street) just east of downtown Snow Hill. The state highway heads east as two-lane Bay Street. MD 365 crosses the Snow Hill Line of the Maryland and Delaware Railroad at-grade before leaving the town limits of Snow Hill, where the name of the highway changes to Public Landing Road. After passing a recreation center, the state highway intersects US 113 (Worcester Highway) and crosses Pattys Branch. MD 365 passes through the hamlets of Mount Wesley and Spence before entering Public Landing. The state highway reaches its eastern terminus at Public Landing Wharf Road adjacent to the shore of Chincoteague Bay.[1][2]
