The following is a list of state highways in Maryland shorter than one mile (1.6 km) in length with route numbers between 700 and 799. Most of these highways act as service roads, old alignments of more prominent highways, or connectors between one or more highways. Many of these highways are unsigned and have multiple segments with the same number. Several of these highways have their own articles; those highways are summarized here and a link is provided to the main article. This list does not include highways where at least one highway of that number is at least one mile in length. All highways at least one mile in length have their own article. The highways shorter than one mile with the same number are covered in the main article for the highway.

Maryland Route 658 is a state highway that runs 0.84 miles (1.35 km) from MD 53 north to US 40 Alternate within La Vale. The highway west of I-68 is part of US 220 Truck, which provides access from eastbound I-68 to southbound US 220 in Cresaptown for trucks due to a truck prohibition on the eastbound exit ramp for I-68's interchange with US 220.[11] MD 658 begins at an intersection with MD 53 (Winchester Road) and heads northeast as Vocke Road, a four-lane divided highway. The state highway passes the Country Club Mall and the District 6 offices of the Maryland State Highway Administration before intersecting a segment of Braddock Road, which is unsigned MD 949. MD 658 intersects entrance and exit ramps from Exit 40 of eastbound I-68 and US 40 (National Freeway). The highway passes under the freeway and meets an exit ramp from westbound I-68 and the western terminus of MD 49 (Braddock Road) at the next intersection, where the highway's name changes to Campground Road. MD 658 turns north, crossing Braddock Run, and reduces to a four-lane undivided highway before reaching its northern terminus at US 40 Alternate (National Pike).[1][12] The portion of MD 658 from MD 53 north to MD 49 is part of the National Highway System.[10] MD 658 was assigned to Campground Road as a connector between US 40 and MD 49 in 1939.[13] The state highway was extended south along Vocke Road to MD 53 around 1948.[14][15] MD 658 was expanded to a divided highway from MD 53 to MD 49 around 1972 in conjunction with the construction of I-68 through La Vale.[16]

Maryland Route 673 is the designation for Sam Barnes Road, a short road that connects Maryland Route 413 to U.S. Route 13 in Somerset County. The route is 0.53 miles (0.85 km) long.[1] The route is a former piece of MD 413; it was created when MD 413 and US 13 were realigned. MD 673 provides the only access from northbound US 13 to southbound MD 413. The route also grants access to the Somerset County Recreation and Parks facility as well as the county sheriff's office.
Maryland Route 674 is the designation for the 0.25-mile-long (0.40 km) portion of Sharp Street from the town limit of Rock Hall at Grays Inn Creek east to MD 20 in western Kent County.[MD 674 1][MD 674 2] MD 674 was constructed along the portion of Sharp Street from Chesapeake Avenue at Sharps Wharf to MD 445 (Main Street) in 1940.[MD 674 3] The portion of Sharp Street east of MD 445 has been constructed as a concrete road as part of MD 20 in 1920.[MD 674 4][MD 674 5][MD 674 6] MD 20 through Rock Hill, including Sharp Street, was widened and resurfaced with bituminous concrete in 1947 and 1948. MD 674 was extended east from MD 445 to its present eastern terminus at MD 20 after MD 20 was relocated onto Rock Hall Avenue east of MD 445 in 1959 and 1960.[MD 674 7] The portion of the highway west of MD 445 was reconstructed in a streetscape project in 1981 and 1982, and the current length of the highway outside the town was reconstructed similarly in 1989.[MD 674 8] The town of Rock Hall agreed to assume maintenance for MD 674 west of Grays Inn Creek through a June 14, 1995, road transfer agreement. The transfer was conditional on the state completing a streetscape project on the highway east of MD 445.[MD 674 9] MD 674 was reduced to its current length after the streetscape project was completed in 1996.[MD 674 8][MD 674 9][MD 674 10] MD 674 had an auxiliary route, MD 674A, that served as a 0.08-mile-long (0.13 km) one-way ramp from eastbound MD 674 to MD 20 at the former highway's eastern terminus.[MD 674 11] MD 674A was assigned to the ramp by 1975, and the route was removed and the roadway abandoned in 1996.[MD 674 10][MD 674 11]
