The (private) map of Bear I received shows two possible utility feeds to the island from Meredith neck: one at the northern tip near the mail dock, and the other across from Cattle Landing.
The map shows a large "C" shaped loop of utilities serving the northern half of the island, connecting through the Carry, and then a full, closed loop that circles the southern half of the island. If I am right, there is a small spur off the "C" portion that feeds the bear cam, that is only a few poles away from the northern utility easement, and could create an isolated outage independent of the rest of the island.

Note, I can't vouch for how accurate the map is; it does not show the feed to Mark or from Camp Lawrence toward Birch. Aerial imagery is inconclusive.
