That was then (1953).
From chapter 48:
The position here is about a hundred yards west of the point at which U.S. 40 and U.S. 24 divide
As originally laid out, U.S. 40 consisted of northern and southrn branches from Manhattan, Kansas, to the present point, just west of Limon, Colorado. In 1935 U.S. 40N became part of U.S. 24.
This is now. Old U.S. 40 roadbed taken over and expanded to accommodate I-70.
