The road between the two houses runs north for 2 miles (3.2 km) to Woodbine, where the Patapsco River and the B&O Railroad cross the road. About one mile north of Lisbon exists the original road that ran from Baltimore to Fredrick. This road runs west toward Poplar Springs and east toward Sykesville. The exact route of this road is not discernible at this time.
