Where the lines,cables, pipes run is right of way. Where the light post, telephone post, street sign, power box or cable box physically sit is easement.
The area labeled right of way likely has grantee equipment buryed below. You own the lawn and the driveway right to the sidewalk or curb/street.
From a property perspective, you own more than you thought.

I didn't misunderstand anything. My property line is located 7 feet from the edge of the street pavement. I own the land from that line to the back of my property, nothing more. From the front lot line to the street is public property with a right of way. I think you misunderstood.
