Speaking as a municipal employee...
A while back our City renumbered all of the light poles. This is likely to happen with utility poles as well. I would not depend on old information regarding this type of thing.
Keep searching, though! I looked for six today and found three. They were smaller than I expected.

I was unable to find any of the three that I went looking for. The last time that they were located was 1964. The weird part is that two of the locations referenced utility poll numbers as a benchmark. I used the descriptions and checked all the utility poles in the area. I'm just not having any luck. I'm thinking about contacting the local utility company and seeing if I can get utility pole maps out of them. Does that sound reasonable to anyone?
