Route Description
MD 145 begins at an intersection with MD 45 (York Road) in Cockeysville. The state highway heads east as two-lane Ashland Road, which crosses over Western Run. At Ashland Road, MD 145 continues northeast on Paper Mill Road; Ashland Road leads to the southern terminus of the Torrey C. Brown Rail Trail. The state highway veers east again and intersects the rail trail at an acute angle; just east of the crosswalk is a parking lot serving the trail. MD 145 enters the parkland surrounding Loch Raven Reservoir and crosses the upper reach of the reservoir on a steel box arch bridge. Immediately to the south is the grey arch through truss bridge that previously carried MD 145 across the reservoir. The state highway follows Greene Branch out of the valley of Gunpowder Falls. MD 145 leaves the Loch Raven Reservoir park reservation east of Phoenix Road and passes through a golf course. The state highway intersects MD 146 (Jarrettsville Pike) at an oblique intersection in the community of Jacksonville, which is also known as Phoenix. MD 145 continues east as Sweet Air Road, which passes through the hamlet of the same name around Manor Road. The state highway reaches its eastern terminus at MD 165 (Baldwin Mill Road) north of Baldwin. Sweet Air Road continues east as a county highway to a cul-de-sac near Little Gunpowder Falls.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“The route through childhood is shaped by many forces, and it differs for each of us. Our biological inheritance, the temperament with which we are born, the care we receive, our family relationships, the place where we grow up, the schools we attend, the culture in which we participate, and the historical period in which we live—all these affect the paths we take through childhood and condition the remainder of our lives.”
—Robert H. Wozniak (20th century)
“I fancy it must be the quantity of animal food eaten by the English which renders their character insusceptible of civilisation. I suspect it is in their kitchens and not in their churches that their reformation must be worked, and that Missionaries of that description from [France] would avail more than those who should endeavor to tame them by precepts of religion or philosophy.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
