The Newark [[graticule]] is at 40 N, -74 W. This graticule is among the most populous in the United States, with a population in the neighborhood of 7 million people.  It includes almost the entire northern half of New Jersey, the most densely populated state ([http://www.census.gov/population/censusdata/90den_stco.txt 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.

Our Graticule

The Newark graticule is at 40 N, -74 W. This graticule is among the most populous in the United States, with a population in the neighborhood of 7 million people. It includes almost the entire northern half of New Jersey, the most 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.

The New York Stock Exchange, where Geohashes are generated, is located in this graticule. On 2019-02-04, the hash location fell approximately six blocks from it.

Suggested Meetup Locations

Interesting reachable locations will be posted the same day as they come up. The 80%-90% rate of private property discourages me from updating more often.

Geohashers can also receive daily emails with automated Google address lookup through activegeohasher.com.

Meetups are usually worked out between geohashers when an accessible location comes up. Get to know your neighbors :-)

The geohash for the date in the original comic (May 26, 2005) is challenging but reachable, in Mill Brook, Morris County. If you make an attempt, tell us about it here!

Links

Geohashing.info map

Small Hash Inquiry Tool

Bing Maps with Bird's Eye view, better idea of scale and finding paths through complicated terrain.

Zillow real estate valuation site, to find out if it's private property / a rough neighborhood / both.

NJ Transit for public transportation geohashes

And of course Wikipedia to find out which township/borough/county a geohash is in :-)

Google Maps does this automatically sometimes.

Wanted: a good bike-map website. NJ Bike Map.com is okay but doesn't include a lot of local bike trails.

Google Maps has a bike trail layer, too.
