This image is a land-use map titled “Land Use nearby Olde Town Arvada Light Rail Station.” It represents an urban area within an approximately 5-mile radius of the Olde Town Arvada station. A light rail corridor, shown in blue, runs diagonally across the map and serves as the main spatial reference.

Land uses are shown as colored areas, with building footprints in black or white. Darker red and orange colors indicate higher-density residential areas, generally concentrated near the station and along major corridors. Lighter orange and beige areas represent medium- and lower-density residential neighborhoods extending outward. Mixed-use and non-residential areas are primarily located along the rail line and at key intersections.
