Colfax serves as the primary hub in this portion of Jasper County, situated at the bend of the South Skunk River. The landscape is defined by the river’s broad floodplain and the numerous tributaries that carve through the surrounding hills, including Severs Creek and Prairie Creek. While Colfax shows a more developed street grid with roads like E Division St and E Howard St, the surrounding countryside remains largely rural, dotted with smaller named localities such as Goddard to the north and Metz to the east.
