The Newark graticule is at 40 N, -74 W. This may very well be the most densely populated graticule in the United States, as it includes almost the entire northern half of New Jersey, the mostly densely populated state (Census), as well as Staten Island, western sections of Brooklyn and lower Manhattan in New York, and a part of Pennsylvania northeast of Philadelphia. In addition, other than Raritan Bay, there are no large sections of water.

Daily Locations

Update 11:54AM: The geohash on irc.peeron.com is on Castle Point Blvd., Society Hill, just north of the Rutgers New Brunswick campus. The staticfree Atom RSS feed had the correct location after all. Not quite a gated community, but very likely to run off any layabouts and loiterers.

Watergeohash.jpg According to the Atlas geohash implementation, the geohash is in Raritan Bay, just outside Great Kills Harbor, Staten Island. The staticfree Atom RSS feed has a different location, possible because it is using yesterday's Dow opening. The irc.peeron.com map had no market data as of 10:30AM.

In the power line right-of-way between Roosevelt and Perrineville, Monmouth County. You'll probably need permission from the farmer at the end of Fairplay Road to get to the hashpoint.

A "plot of undeveloped land" along Kasper Road, in Long Bridge, Allamuchy Township, Warren County. Look out for Shades of Death Road!

A front lawn on Jefferson Street, Washington Township, Bergen county. Parkway exit 166 or 168.

Rutherford Place, North Arlington, NJ. Front lawn of the house next door to Queen of Peace High School.

Toward the end of Sandburg Drive, Morganville.

Newark Airport, in the parking lot for the Budget rental car franchise. If you take the monorail past terminal A (I think the one at the south end is A), it's just before the second stop.

Bellmans Creek, Fairview. Just to the north is an train station, I think it's Essex County light rail.

A farmer's field on Brynmore Road, New Egypt. Just north of Fort Dix.

A McMansion on Hillcroft Way, Newtown, PA. Yes, that's five PA geohashes in 18 days. Not that we don't like Pennsylvania, just sayin'.

Older locations can be looked up using the geohash calculator.
