Footnotes ...
| <1> | If you're interested in how the shape of Mississippi's counties, including Madison, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries. |
| <2> | The elevation is an estimate for the area around Adelle - 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 601 code has been Overlayed with the 769 area code. New phone numbers in the Adelle area will be assigned with one of these codes: 601 or 769. As a result, placing a call in the Adelle area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number). |
