Maryland Route 937 (MD 937) is an unsigned state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. The state highway runs 1.53 miles (2.46 km) from MD 135 north to MD 36 within Westernport. MD 937 is the old alignment of MD 36 through Westernport in the Georges Creek Valley of western Allegany County. The state highway was designated when MD 36 moved to a new alignment through the community in the early 1980s.
MD 937 begins at an intersection with MD 135 (Church Street) adjacent to the junction of the Georges Creek Railway with CSX's Thomas Subdivision railroad line on the south side of Westernport. The state highway heads north as Main Street, a two-lane undivided street maintained by the town of Westernport. North of downtown Westernport, MD 937 passes through several sharp curves as it parallels the Georges Creek Railway. The state highway becomes maintained by the Maryland State Highway Administration and its name changes to Creekside Drive on leaving the town of Westernport. The state highway passes a row of residences before reaching its northern terminus at MD 36 (New Georges Creek Road).[1][2]
