Red Line Maps?

Hey AfAm group - does anyone have any idea about where I could find a comprehensive list of zip codes that were Red Lines? Or maps? I've googled and researched in local records but can't find anything documented that proves it.

It's not showing the outer reaches of NJ.

I'm going to see if my nephew can find anything via his connects at Goldman.

I will try that. I might be suing my local Historic Preservation Committee and successful cases have had a small reliance on red-lining status.

Thanks so much!

I do not know for stone true that they have maps, but it's worth a call/ email.

And yeah, a medium sized Michigan State University having that museum was a hnmm moment to me before I went there in 2000. If you are in the area, go see it.
