I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

6. CVILLE_210412_092.JPG: It turns out that, yes, Clarksville Pike was a toll road and, like most toll roads (including the National Road), there were stone mileage markers installed every mile along it. This one is described on https://mht.maryland.gov/secure/medusa/PDF/Howard/HO-914.pdf as The Ellicott City-Clarksville Turnpike 9-Mile Marker on MD 108 is currently located within SHA's right-of-way on the northwest side of MD 108 at the intersection with Great Star Drive. The mile marker is a stone carved from gneiss likely quarried in nearby Ellicott City. It is 12 inches wide, 8 inches deep, and 30 inches high. The stone tablet has been worn and damaged by vehicle impact, but it retains its original form with a segmental-arch top. The marker is inscribed with "9M TO EC" with the 9 being inscribed backwards. This inscription communicates that the marker is nine miles from Ellicott City. ... The Ellicott City-Clarksville Turnpike 9-Mile Marker is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion A. It is one the few remaining above-ground elements associated with the historic nineteenth-century turnpike. It is associated with the Clarksville Turnpike during an era of burgeoning transportation throughout Maryland. Mile markers such as these were once common means of measuring progress along routes. As transportation increased and citizens began traveling more frequently, the importance of well-maintained roads in Maryland became increasingly important. Turnpikes allowed for better road maintenance and created easier routes for business and commerce. The turnpikes in Maryland, and of the Ellicott City-Clarksville Turnpike specifically, provided a means for improved travel during the nineteenth century within the state.

Wikipedia Description: Clarksville, Maryland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Clarksville is an unincorporated community in Howard County, Maryland; the second highest-earning county in the United States according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The community is named for William Clark, a farmer who owned much of the land on which the community now lies and served as a postal stop that opened on the 4th of July 1851.

Some of the most expensive homes on the East Coast are located in or around the town, whose property values are among the highest in the country. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Clarksville District 5 has a population of 56,239, with an estimated average income of $195,124, with median income of $160,606.

The village of River Hill (which include Pheasant Ridge and Pointers Run), the newest addition to the Rouse Company development of Columbia, is adjacent to Clarksville.

Clarksville's public schools, part of the Howard County public school system, are among the highest-ranked in the nation and often have significantly higher funding than competing private and charter schools.

The area is located southwest of Baltimore and north of Washington, D.C., and many residents of Clarksville commute to work in one of these two cities or their nearby suburbs.

Montrose and Richland Farm are listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.

History

In 1699, Thomas Browne, a Patuxent Ranger, ranged the river from the Snowden plantation to where Clarksville is sited. The area was settled with tobacco plantations such as Folly Quarter and Hobbs Regulation with slave labor. In 1838, Dr. William Watkins of Richland Manor proposed the "Howard District" of Anne Arundel County, which became Howard County in 1851. Clarksville's name originates from John R. Clark's family who immigrated from Ireland to the Howard District of Anne Arundel County in 1790. The land he purchased included Jack Howard's blacksmith shop, one of the few African American operated blacksmith's in the county. Clarksville postal office listed the population as just 65 in the 1930s with the key industry of agriculture and limestone mining. Numerous apple orchards were situated between Clarksville and Ashton. In 1869 the town became the terminus of the ten mile Ellicott City and Clarksville turnpike built over the old Sandy Spring road, a ten-mile private toll road created in a time before county maintained roads which later became route 108.
