<2>The elevation is an estimate for the area around Statts Mills - 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 304 code has been Overlayed with the 681 area code. New phone numbers in the Statts Mills area will be assigned with one of these codes: 304 or 681. As a result, placing a call in the Statts Mills area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number).
<4>It's a common practice for mapmakers to remove the apostrophe from possessive names. So Statts Mills may originally have been Statt's Mills. Sometimes the trailing 's' might be dropped altogether, in which case Statts Mills might be written as Statt Mills. For more information, please visit our Genealogy Helper Page for Statts Mills.
