In this case, the 970 code has been Overlayed with the 748 area code. New phone numbers in the Battlement Mesa area will be assigned with one of these codes: 970 or 748. As a result, placing a call in the Battlement Mesa area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number). |

The boundaries of the ZIP Code can be changed, re-assigned, eliminated or overlapped with other ZIP Codes.
