The Boston graticule is at latitude 42, longitude -71. It includes most of Boston (minus a few harbor points) and all the suburbs to the west. It is almost entirely land, so most points are reachable (albeit often suburban). It is one of the few known graticules to span 4 US states, though it just barely contains parts of Connecticut and Rhode Island.
