binding the center line of Jerusalem Road until it intersects the
center line of Old Joppa Road, thence in a northerly direction binding
the center line of Old Joppa Road until it intersects the center line
of Old Mountain Road, thence in a southeasterly direction binding
the center line of Old Mountain Road until it intersects the center

intersects the center line of Emmorton Road, thence in a northerly
direction binding the center line of Emmorton Road until it intersects
the projected center line of Patterson Mill Road, thence in a northeasterly
direction binding the center line of Patterson Mill Road until it
intersects the projected center line of an old road at that point
where Patterson Mill Road begins to turn into a southeasterly direction,
thence by a straight line to a point in the center line of MacPhail
Road about 1,000 feet southeast of the entrance to the Maryland Country
Club where the projected center line of the original road intersects
said center line and thence in a southeasterly direction binding the
center line and projected center line of MacPhail Road until it intersects
the center line of Wheel Road, thence in a northeasterly direction
binding the center line and projected center line of Wheel Road until
it intersects the center line of Shucks Road, thence in a southeasterly
direction binding the center line and projected center line of Shucks
Road until it intersects the center line of Calvary Road, thence in
a southerly direction, binding the center line of Calvary Road to
a point about 1,000 feet north of its intersection with the projected
center line of South Fountain Green Road, thence in an easterly direction
by a straight line which would extend to the intersection of Tower

the intersection of the center line of Interstate Highway No. 95 with
the center line of Stepney Road, then returning to the point where
the straight line intersects the center of Gray's Run, thence following
the meanderings of the center of Gray's Run downstream in a southerly
direction until it empties into Church Creek, thence following the
meanderings of the center of Church Creek downstream until it empties
into Bush River, thence following the middle of Bush River downstream
to the mouth thereof, thence by a straight line in a southeasterly
direction to the boundary line between Harford and Kent Counties in
the middle of the Chesapeake Bay and, following that boundary, passing
to the southeast of Pooles Island, to the boundary between Baltimore
