The city of Sparta is the hub of the 43, -90 graticule, but the region covers mostly the area to the south. Sparta and nearby Tomah residents should also consider geohashes in Marshfield to the north.

  • 2010-03-20: Shandd traveled to the location on a spontaneous road trip and hiked a distance to reach the hashpoint.
  • 2012-09-21: SwensonJ wandered through the woods like an idiot, eventually locating the hashpoint. I'm claiming the Virgin Graticule ribbon for this, since Shandd hasn't taken it or created 2010-03-20 43 -90. Let me know if you object; we can always change it.
