This map in the American Geographical Society Library Digital Map Collection at University of Wisconsin Milwaukee was created by the City of Detroit Department of Report and Information Committee. It’s always interesting to see maps that note the planned expressways. Beyond the city limits the expressways get very curvy and ephemeral.

The route that we would recognize today as the Lodge Freeway is labeled here as I-696 heading from Downtown to Northwest Detroit. Woodward Avenue still had the M-10 designation. The dashed line for the I-94 addition to the West took a bit of a different direction.
