<2>The elevation is an estimate for the area around El Encano Heights - it will be higher in some places and lower in others.
<3>When there's a risk of an area code running out of phone numbers, an 'Overlay Area Code' is created that has the same geographic boundaries as the existing area code. In this case, the 805 code has been Overlayed with the 820 area code. New phone numbers in the El Encano Heights area will be assigned with one of these codes: 805 or 820.
