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 270 code has been Overlayed with the 364 area code. New phone numbers in the Port Oliver Ford area will be assigned with one of these codes: 270 or 364. As a result, placing a call in the Port Oliver Ford 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 Port Oliver Ford - it will be higher in some places and lower in others.
<3>Longitude & latitude values may not be the geographic center of Port Oliver Ford, rather it may be a prominent intersection or the center of population, etc. It will vary depending on the source.
