Footnotes ...
| <1> | The elevation is an estimate for the area around Sops Island - it will be higher in some places and lower in others. |
| <2> | 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 709 code has been Overlayed with the 879 area code. New phone numbers in the Sops Island area will be assigned with one of these codes: 709 or 879. As a result, placing a call in the Sops Island area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number). |
| <3> | If we found a location and have questions about the accuracy of our information, we will simply say that the marker is 'in the vicinity'. We are not confident about the location and the position of our marker is only a rough guide. If we have too many doubts about the location, we will not include it in our database. |
| <4> | While we're fans and frequent users of TripAdvisor, you should know that we're also members of the TripAdvisor affiliate program. |
| <5> | 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. |
