In this case, the 601 code has been Overlayed with the 769 area code. New phone numbers in the Silver Creek area will be assigned with one of these codes: 601 or 769.

An 'estimated' location is one where we have been given GPS coordinates, but are unable to verify the accuracy of those coordinates. That said, we have some confidence that we have placed the marker near the actual location. A typical reason for being unable to verify a location is that it might be on private property or maybe historic and gone without an obvious trace.
