In our new-old house breaker panel there's a GFCI breaker, picture attached. There are outdoor lights on the front gate posts, left and right, with duplex weather-tite receptacles. I'm guessing this serves those lights/receptacles?

Turn off the breaker and see if the receptacles go dead. Then you will know.

The gate lights have solar detectors on them so it'll wait till this evening.
I'm doing a census of circuits/fixtures/switches, hence the question. As per usual (in my experience) the breaker panel is not labeled to any extent. One of the joys of "this old house" buying.

Throw a dark glove over the sensor to force the lights on during the day.

I woke up this AM realizing I had left off 3 things from my breaker panel/electric fixtures census:
- an outside light on a post,
another outside light on the house back wall,
and the whirlpool tub in the hall bath.

So I flipped the GFCI breaker off and looked outside. None of the outside lights, 5 (!), were affected, the gate post lights were still on.
So now I'm wondering if that breaker isn't for the tub? Only way I can think to check is to fill the tub and turn it on. The Home Inspectors did that so we know it functions. I need to pull off the side panel and see if I can't ID the tub. Some user instructions would be nice to have.

A shot of the tub "controls"(?).

I can't make out much, other than the valves need a good cleaning, of the printing but not nearly enough.

You don't really need to fill the tub for a quick turn on/off just to see if that's the right circuit. Just push those buttons.

I believe I'm going to put water in the tub, add some chlorine beach and run it awhile.
Then I can try the breaker and flush the recirculation system at the same time.
