1. A process for monitoring power distribution comprising: collecting, at a processor, utility usage data from a plurality of utility usage meters at predetermined time periods; collecting, at the processor, utility distribution data from a first utility distribution point at the predetermined time periods; determining, using the processor and geographic data indicating a location for each of the plurality of utility usage meters and a location of the first utility distribution point, a sub-set of the plurality of utility usage meters based on geographic proximity of each of the plurality of utility usage meters to the first utility distribution point; and mapping, using the processor, to determine which utility usage meters of the sub-set of the plurality of utility usage meters are connected to the first utility distribution point by comparing aggregate usage data collected during a given one or more of the predetermined time periods from one or more of the utility usage meters of the sub-set of the plurality of utility usage meters to distribution data collected during the same given one or more of the predetermined time periods from the first utility distribution point.
