This map of the proposed location of what we now know as Interstate 75 comes from the Detroit Public Library Digital Collections. I had heard plenty about the expressway razing Paradise Valley and the center of Detroit’s black community along Hastings Street, but never heard the expressway referred to as Hastings-Oakland.
