Footnotes ...

<1>The elevation is an estimate for the area around Miscouche - it will be higher in some places and lower in others.
<2>The Canadian Postal Code consists of 6 characters, where the first three characters are the 'Forward Sortation Area (FSA)', with the last three characters being the 'Local Delivery Unit (LDU)'.

So keep in mind that any given Postal Code is only 'loosely' associated with a community (such as Miscouche). The boundaries of the Postal Code can be changed, re-assigned, eliminated or overlapped with other Postal Codes. When looking for a Postal Code, whether Miscouche or elsewhere, it's always best to check the website of the Canada Post / Postes Canada.
