In Aurora, Colorado, there is evidence of an old road that would have crossed Colfax between Nome and Oswego, and I am naming it "Fletcher Road" for lack of more information. It predates Mt. Nebo cemetery that was built in 1902. All of the streets in this area of town are north-south or east-west, but this road curved to the northeast on the north side of Colfax and to the southeast on the south side of Colfax. Property lines that still exist show where the road was.
It crosses Oswego north of 16th Avenue, and then any trace of it to the north disappears by 17th Avenue.
However, there is an angled property near Tucson & 30th and near Smith Road and I-225 that may be the same road.
Here is an overhead shot where you can see old "Fletcher Road" being used as a parking lot.
