<2>The elevation is an estimate for the area around Banner Country - it will be higher in some places and lower in others.

In this case, the 301 code has been Overlayed with one of the following codes: 227 or 240. New phone numbers in the Banner Country area will be assigned with one of these codes: 301, 227 or 240.
