Do you know of a map or website or whatever that could show where a house is located along a circuit? I never knew this was a thing, and I’m curious where my place is located along the line.

For infrastructure security reasons, those are not published (I believe). Some utilities used to back in the day. Your best bet is having a friend who works for the power company or used to work for one and can either visually see the circuits or read the pole markings.

In general though, it's fairly easy to know where your local substation is, if you drive around a lot. That's about the only way.

Also, if you're one of the people whose power goes out a lot with even the slightest wind, or if you regularly have low voltage in the summer, you're probably at the end of the circuit.

I have a feeling I’m somewhere in the middle to beginning of the circuit. There’s lots of places in Castle Shannon that lose power at the drop of a hat, but I only seem lose mine when it’s an actual storm or something real.

I appreciate the help tho
