Do you have a reference for the US interstate system being built where there was trade already?

I guess I don't have any links, but it isn't hard to imagine interstate trade in the US in the mind 20th century. There were military considerations later on but the groundwork before that wasn't entirely military focused.

I always thought the interstate was a big 'F you' to the rail industry.

...and the rail system seemed to follow along the path of most of the rivers.

Now fiber is also placed along these paths.
