The parkways were apparently supposed to be expressway grade routes with parkland on one or both sides.
The map has Memphis developing a grid-like arterial system, with many of them apparently not being built. In addition, several streets around Memphis seem to have changed names or were not correctly labeled on the map.
I find it interesting that two of today's currently under-construction routes (I-69, I-269) correspond directly with the 1968 plan in some form or another...
How does the Lamar Avenue proposal compare to today's planning for I-22?
Again, would like to see the raw maps for these posted somewhere. Even if it's on Flickr/Photobucket/Picasa/etc etc.
The Lamar Ave proposal is effectively today's Lamar Ave, except that the interchanges at Winchester, Shelby, and Holmes never got built. It really doesn't compare to I-22 planning.
To at least prove I'm not making this up, I'll post this low quality digital photo of a section. The green lines are railroads.

Did it occur to anyone that Googlemaps now labels I-269?!

It was mentioned in another thread (https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=2001.msg44485#msg44485) last fall, but it appears the original post about it was deleted.

I know you're not making it up. I'd just like to see the raw maps...

I'd share mine, but I have no idea what my mother did with my Memphis planning map collection after I moved out...except for the faded "Memphis 2000" map still hanging on the wall of my former bedroom.
Also, those are interesting ghost ramps at the southeast 'corner' of TN 385 (visible in the high-res aerial images of the area).

I'm pretty sure those are for the future mainline of I-269 heading into Mississippi.
That is correct...
