Deep Run is an 11.9-mile-long (19.2 km)[1] tributary of thePatapsco River in centralMaryland in the United States. The main stem arises in the vicinity ofEllicott City, starting in the Montgomery Meadows housing development, and the lower course forms part of the border betweenHoward andAnne Arundel Counties. It passes underneath Route 100 twice, Interstate 95 once, and Route 1 once as well.
Archeological digs in 1929 discovered arrowheads, spearpoints, axes, andgorgets along the Disney farm. The banks of the Deep Run were a regular hiding place for slaves travelling north with the assistance ofHarriet Tubman.[2] The area was rezoned by theHoward County Department of Planning and Zoning to be unpreserved for historical status and is now occupied by commercial buildings along Hi Tech drive and Oxford Square development.[3]
