<2>The elevation is an estimate for the area around Hermiston Junction - 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 541 code has been Overlayed with the 458 area code. New phone numbers in the Hermiston Junction area will be assigned with one of these codes: 541 or 458.
