Known as Broomes Island Road, the route runs 6.66 miles (10.72 km) from Oyster House Road at Broomes Island north to MD 2/MD 4 in Port Republic.

Ballard Rogers Road continues south to the end of the peninsula between Island Creek and the Patuxent River that contains the village of Broomes Island, a former oyster canning center.

In the village of Mutual, the state highway intersects the northern terminus of MD 265 (Mackall Road) and Laveille Road, which leads west to the historic home La Veille.

The state highway passes a spur of old alignment, Yoes Corner Road (unsigned MD 264A), and reaches its northern terminus at a directional crossover intersection with MD 2/MD 4 (Solomons Island Road) in Port Republic.

[3] The state highway followed the alignment of Yoes Corner Road to MD 2/MD 4 until the northern end was moved opposite the northern terminus of the St. Leonard – Port Republic segment of MD 765 around 1985.
