Non-Tidal

The non-tidal portion has three main branches. The largest (and the only one shown on the ADC map 15, grid E9) crosses Ritchie Highway at the intersection with College Parkway, and formed the dip in the road at that point. A smaller branch to the north crosses Ritchie Highway just south of Jones Station Road. Small areas of wetlands
along its banks were destroyed by the construction of the Rite Aid store. Another small branch to the south crosses College Parkway and can be seen in a ravine on the Anne Arundel Community College campus, between the old and new campuses.
