<2>The elevation is an estimate for the area around Hickman Ferry - 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 615 code has been Overlayed with the 629 area code. New phone numbers in the Hickman Ferry area will be assigned with one of these codes: 615 or 629.
