The Springfield, Massachusetts graticule is at latitude 42, longitude -72. This graticule includes the following cities: Agawam, MA; Ashfield, MA; Chicopee, MA; Keene, NH; Northampton, MA; Springfield, MA. It is one of the few known graticules to span 4 US states.

Water isn't a huge obstacle in this graticule, but forests are. Many of the locations so far have been in the middle of nowhere, which makes getting to them quite difficult. A GPS could come in handy, but the locations are frequently in easy to reach locations.
