<1>	We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Willow Springs, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy.
<2>	While Willow Springs is in the Mountain Time Zone, the area to the east is in the Central Time Zone (CST/CDT).
<3>	The elevation is an estimate for the area around Willow Springs - it will be higher in some places and lower in others.
<4>	Longitude & latitude values may not be the geographic center of Willow Springs, rather it may be a prominent intersection or the center of population, etc. It will vary depending on the source.

<7>	The area value has been supplied by the US Census Bureau and it can be different than the geographic boundaries of Willow Springs. The value given by the Census Bureau reflects their statistical (or sampling) requirements. For example, if there is a cluster of people living just outside of the community's official boundary, the Census-defined area might be expanded to include that group.
