<2>The elevation is an estimate for the area around Alford 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 318 code has been Overlayed with the 457 area code. New phone numbers in the Alford Heights area will be assigned with one of these codes: 318 or 457. As a result, placing a call in the Alford Heights area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number).
