Explorer label: Power hubs & substations
Layer group: Transmission and trade layers
Feature count: 39
Named grid hubs and substation/place anchors used to orient the network.
Summary
This layer provides named grid hubs, substations, and place anchors used to orient the explorer's transmission network. It helps readers connect corridors and lines to recognizable endpoint geography.
What It Represents
This public point layer gives the reader named grid geography: major substations, hubs, and anchor places used to interpret the transmission network.
How To Read It
Use this layer with the major transmission network and cross-border links. It helps orient the reader and gives corridors recognizable endpoints.
Coverage / Method
The layer covers 39 point features listed in Map Inventory. It combines substations, grid hubs, and geocoded place anchors; the popup basis should be used to distinguish surveyed infrastructure points from orientation anchors.
Caveats
Not every anchor is a surveyed substation coordinate. Some are towns, hubs, or geocoding references, so use the popup basis when precision matters.
