some circuits return to the RO...others ran one on a radial to a driven ground at the end.
I took more of this down than put up. We still had a few loops that were obsolete well before the 80's

Most of those pics are drain grates...City Hall may be in charge of those

The take away idea from and Grounding and EPZ training is those grounds do 3 things
Drain Capacitive current and inductive voltage from the wires and pole surfaces into the earth
