I think we have the streetcar suburbs of the early 20th century to
thank for that. Dig though any of the old streetcar maps for any NA
city on the David Rumsey Historical Map Collection
<http://www.davidrumsey.com/>, and you'll be amazed how far out they
go. The Eisenhower interstates came much later.

Rumsey's website)
