Maryland Route 464 (MD 464) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known for most of its length as Point of Rocks Road, the state highway runs 8.10 miles (13.04 km) from MD 17 and MD 79 in Rosemont east to Ballenger Creek Pike in Point of Rocks. MD 464 connects Brunswick with U.S. Route 15 in Point of Rocks in southern Frederick County. The state highway was constructed from Brunswick starting in the early 1930s. The highway was constructed west from Point of Rocks in the late 1930s; the gap in the middle was filled in the early 1940s. In 1950, MD 464 was extended west through Brunswick to Knoxville. MD 464 was placed on its present course between Brunswick and Rosemont in 1968.
MD 464 begins at an intersection with MD 17 and MD 79 (Petersville Road) just north of the boundary between the town of Brunswick and the village of Rosemont. MD 17 heads west as Burkittsville Road and south as Petersville Road into Brunswick. MD 464 heads southeast as two-lane Souder Road between residential subdivisions and farmland and enters the town of Brunswick. At its intersection with Ninth Avenue and Cummings Drive in front of Brunswick High School, the state highway turns northeast onto Point of Rocks Road.
