Footnotes ...

<1>	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 203 code has been Overlayed with the 475 area code. New phone numbers in the Turn of River area will be assigned with one of these codes: 203 or 475. As a result, placing a call in the Turn of River area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number).
<2>	The elevation is an estimate for the area around Turn of River - it will be higher in some places and lower in others.
<3>	Longitude & latitude values may not be the geographic center of Turn of River, rather it may be a prominent intersection or the center of population, etc. It will vary depending on the source.
<4>	Name of the USGS 7.5 Minute topographic map which includes Turn of River.
<5>	Every year, the US Census Bureau creates a population estimate for the preceeding year. Keep in mind that this value is an estimate and not an actual count. The most recent Census estimate is for the year 2019.

For example, if there is a cluster of people living just outside of the community's official boundary, the Census-defined area might be expanded to include that group.
