The Portland graticule is at latitude 43, longitude -70. It stretches from just below Lisbon Falls in the north, through Portland, and down into a wee bit of New Hampshire for good measure.

For other places called Portland, go here.

This Saturday is super easy (except it's in someone's yard), but the woods or the Wal-Mart would both make good places to meet? --Mr. Pants 1 August 2008 (UTC)
