Yep, Del Norte County, California, in the northeast corner of it, is served by 541-596 (O'Brien, OR)
[moderator pro tem's note: In general a rate center does not cross a state line. But if an area is served by a switch across the state line, it's called a locality, and gets its own NPA-NXX codes. The Vermont-New Hampshire border is full of localities crossing the river. But when Verizon sold the states to FairPoint, the locality arrangements with Massachusetts, in both directions, had to be rewired to stay within each carrier's network. -fg]
