"Remaining power plants"?! Isn't that the sorta thing you would rather not let any others know, you know, for the sake of, national ... you know?

  I mean, I'm sure that's not a secret of any kind.

    Anything like that will be widely known "in the industry" even if it's not openly described on the internet like https://openinframap.org/ https://openinframap.org/ And if it is known in the industry it is absolutely guaranteed to be known by all countries, friend and foe alike; and real "foes" will have even more knowledge. What is kept secret is what tooling the various militaries may have to assist in a black start, and what would trigger them actually attempting assistance.

      Soviet road and rail maps of the USA were more accurate than the USAs.

        It's one of those almost paradoxical things - the maps by the people who use a system can be very incomplete - because the system is right there! You don't need a detailed map of where the rail line between two points is because you can just follow it. Another example is blueprints - they seem very detailed and accurate until you realize that quite a bit is "left out" and the tradesmen are assumed able to figure it out - it will show fixture locations for example, but rarely show exactly how the wires are run to them. But if you're creating a 'map' of a house you bought, wire locations is extremely useful because they're all behind the walls.
