Zero to hero for reading platbooks

I have recently taken a job for some optic fiber design, it's my very first job for this kind of thing and it is US focused, so, we have to comply with what the platbooks say about where the easements are, the sidewalks, and basically just find where it is legal to place the fiber's spans and all the other parts.

However I am not familiar with any of this things at all, I'm not from the US so it's my first time seeing the platbooks, and I'd like to just kind of get a general grasp of how to read them, I see so much info without really a way of dissecting it, it's kind of overwhelming.

So what I'm basically looking for is a guide that will allow me to correctly identify these platbooks, how to properly find the right of way, the back of curb, the easements, and just generally understand how to read this things without dying trying.

Any sort of material that could help me with this topic that you could recommend would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.
