The easterly line may be the limits of the old (circa 1850s) City of Montreal. In that case, it may be something that was designed within an outlying parish and that used Atwater Avenue's physical location as a distribution point. So my guess is a pre-City of Montreal water supply system.

If that isn't it, it must be crappy cell phone reception. The mountain blocks out the sun shine for that area most times during the year at around sunset.
