In this case, the 301 code has been Overlayed with one of the following codes: 227 or 240. New phone numbers in the Mountain Laurel Estates area will be assigned with one of these codes: 301, 227 or 240. As a result, placing a call in the Mountain Laurel Estates 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 Mountain Laurel Estates - it will be higher in some places and lower in others.
