<2>The elevation is an estimate for the area around Mill Brook - 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 423 code has been Overlayed with the 729 area code. New phone numbers in the Mill Brook area will be assigned with one of these codes: 423 or 729. As a result, placing a call in the Mill Brook area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number).
