If you know where the line is, you can usually call the local utility
and ask them. They're called "transmission lines" in general (as
opposed to the "distribution" at medium voltage in your neighborhood area)
Searches/maps are a bit dicier. In California, the CalISO website has
information, but you have to dig for it.
http://www.energy.ca.gov/maps/TRANSMISSION_LINES.PDF shows a statewide
map. Once you know which line, you can dig to find the details.
googling things like "<statename> transmission line capacity" might turn
up details too.
You can also guesstimate by looking at the lengths of the insulator
strings and height above the ground.
