The Sioux City, Iowa [[graticule]] is at [http://irc.peeron.com/xkcd/map/map.html?lat=42&long=-96 latitude 42, longitude -96].  This graticule is nearly centered on Sioux City and includes land in three different states.  Most of the area is known locally as the "Siouxland" region.  Most of the area is very hilly and rural.  The challenge will be having a geohash which doesn't land on a farm.

Today's Location: [Sioux City, IA]

The Sioux City, Iowa graticule is at latitude 42, longitude -96. This graticule is nearly centered on Sioux City and includes land in three different states. Most of the area is known locally as the "Siouxland" region. Most of the area is very hilly and rural. The challenge will be having a geohash which doesn't land on a farm.

In South Dakota, the graticule encompasses the cities of Vermillion, Elk Point, Jefferson, and North Sioux City, SD.

In Nebraska, the graticule encompasses many rural towns including South Sioux City, Ponca, Newcastle, Wakefield, Martinsburg, and Winnebago.

In Iowa, the graticule encompasses Sioux City, Westfield, Akron, Hinton, Le Mars, Moville, Lawton, Onawa, Sloan, and Sergeant Bluff
