<2>The elevation is an estimate for the area around Richland Estates - 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 Richland Estates area will be assigned with one of these codes: 601 or 769.
