<2>The elevation is an estimate for the area around Springfield Forest - 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 703 code has been Overlayed with the 571 area code. New phone numbers in the Springfield Forest area will be assigned with one of these codes: 703 or 571. As a result, placing a call in the Springfield Forest area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number).
