The Newark graticule is at 40 N, -74 W. This may very well be the most populous graticule in the United States, easily in the neighborhood of 10 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.

A Facebook Group has been created for this graticule.

Attempted geohashes
- Main page: Meetup in 40 -74
- Saturday, July 26, 2008
- Sandburg Drive, Marlboro. Jevanyn and Zubenelgenubi made the geohash on a residential street, allowing them to mark the spot and Zubenelgenubi claims an uncommon Speed Racer geohash on a bicycle.
- Friday, July 4, 2008
- In the woods of Spring Hill Road, Amwell. Not a good place to view fireworks ;-) Zubenelgenubi made this geohash by bicycle, and uploaded a photo.
- Monday, June 30, 2008
- 17 Cornell St, West Orange. A lovely split-level, very close to Francis Byrne Golf Course - but it would take an intentional Bad Shot to achieve the Golf Geohash here. Science_Works! was there for a meetup of one(?)
- Saturday, June 28, 2008
- Brightwood Avenue, Westfield. Near Watchung Reservation. Jevanyn was there with two drag-alongs, and now has the pictures to prove it.
- Monday, June 16, 2008
- Northbound Garden State Parkway past exit 116, off the shoulder after the Holmdel Rd. overpass. LangleyLGLF claims to have gotten the Speed Racer Achievement, but has not yet provided proof. (start here)
- Friday, June 13, 2008
- Forest Hill Rd, Staten Island, New York. There may have been a meetup at the Staten Island Mall, but no claim has been made yet. (start here)
- Thursday, June 12, 2008
- US 206, Hillsborough. Jevanyn has claimed a Cubicle Geohash honorable mention, but has not yet provided proof. (start here).

Daily Locations
Wooded strip between Rt 130 and Hightstown.
Field off Jacksonville Road, north of Mt. Holly. The Newburgh, NY hashpoint is also in New Jersey today.
Field near the ball diamonds of Mercer County Park, West Windsor.
Inside Roberge Elementary School, River Vale. Less than a mile from the NE corner of the graticule.
Field off Jacksonville Road, north of Mt. Holly. The Newburgh, NY hashpoint is also in New Jersey today.
Robbins Road, Neptune City.
Off Myrtle Ave in Monmouth Park, very close to the racetrack. There is something unusual passing east-west, about 20 feet from the geohash, probably an abandoned freight line.
A cleared and possibly planted field off Plainsboro Rd., Plainsboro.
Behind a house on Sydor Avenue, Cassville. Again, pretty close to Six Flags.
An undeveloped plot of land on Staten Island, New York.
In the woods north of Lakehurst Naval Air Center, and east of Success Lake. Fairly close to Six Flags Great Adventure.
Also, the Newburgh, New York graticule's geohash is in New Jersey. It's just off Stanley Street, near Algonquin Waters, in Lakes 'n Reservoirs territory. The closest town is Macopin, between West Milford and Bloomingdale.
A partly developed parcel of land between East Brunswick and the Raritan River. (The map says Milltown, but I used to live there, and I say it's E. Brunswick.)
The side lot of a house on Soldier Hill Road, Oradell.
The Allentown, PA geohash is on the New Jersey side today, at a farm off Route 94 near Vail.
Off Black River Road, near Pottersville. Looks like private property, part of a big estate maybe? Just a bit south of Hacklebarney State Park.
Near the Clark Landing Marina (?) on the Manasquan River, in the town of Point Pleasant Beach.
Route 31 at the northern-most entrance to Spruce Run State Park.
Round Valley Reservoir. Third water geohash in four days.
Upper New York Bay. Take the ferry from Bayonne to Manhattan today. Or try the Allentown, PA geohash east of Bloomsbury (Exit 7 on I78/US-22).
East shore of Lake Kinnelon, Between Stone House Rd and the stream to Forge Pond, near Kinnelon.
Raritan Bay. If you're taking the ferry from the Atlantic Highlands to LaGuardia Airport, you'll get a Water Geohash. Everybody else can try the Allentown, PA geohash near Frenchtown.
Older locations can be looked up using the geohash calculator.
