Scope Note: Found: ColfaxAvenue.com WWW site, Feb. 3, 2012: (Colfax Avenue; originally called Golden Road and Grand Avenue; name changed to Colfax Avenue; While Colfax Avenue is commonly considered to run east-west along U.S. Highway 40 through the Denver metro area, the road extends much farther. As U.S. 40 bends east of Aurora and follows I-70, U.S. 36 picks up the Colfax name as a virtually seamless route to Watkins, Bennett and Strasburg. Farther east in Byers, some residents continue to use East Colfax in their addresses, though the name is rarely, if ever, used beyond the town)

Found: Google maps, Feb. 3, 2012: (Map shows Colfax Avenue also numbered U.S. 40, U.S. 287, and Interstate 70)
