Cities in this Graticule

Newark, NJ
Jersey City, NJ
Trenton, NJ
Portions of New York, NY (Staten Island, Western sections of Brooklyn and lower Manhattan)
near Philadelphia, PA (includes the Far Northeast)

This may very well be the most densely populated graticule in the United States. It is mostly New Jersey territory, and New Jersey is the mostly densely populated state^{[citation needed]}. In addition, other than Raritan Bay, there are no large sections of water.

Local Geohashers

Daily Locations

6/16/08

Northbound Garden State Parkway past exit 116, off the shoulder after the Holmdel Rd. overpass. Free Speed Racer Achievement for anyone going to the PNC arts center today.

6/15/08 - Sunday

WertzvilleRd, Montgomery, near the Hillsborough Country Club.

6/14/08 - Saturday

In the Hackensack River near the Meadowlands.

6/13/08

Forest Hill Rd, Staten Island, New York. Might I suggest Staten Island Mall instead?

6/12/08

US 206, Hillsborough.

6/11/08

Off Long Hill Road between Montgomery and Rock Mill, Somerset County.

6/10/08

Gaston Avenue, in Garfield (or maybe Lodi). Close to Dahnerts Lake County Park.

6/9/08

Near Jacksonville, Burlington County, NJ. The spot looks like it's been cleared for development. It's also close the Burlington Center Mall, and three golf courses. (Surprising for New Jersey in general: this is the first time the geohash has been this close to a mall.)

Massachusetts Ave., Lakewood NJ. Near the US 9 / NJ 70 interchange.

6/7/08 - Saturday

Water. Raritan Bay.

6/6/08

Mallard Cove Road, Middle Valley NJ. Looks like a BIG house on a BIG piece of property, overlooking the South Branch of Raritan River. Steep ridge to the NW, looks like a great place for pictures.

6/5/08

Vassar Ave, Lakewood NJ. It's behind a big-box store, in the shopping center between Lakewood Airport and First Energy Park.

6/4/08

Auburn Road, Fairless Hills, PA. Missed someone's driveway by about 2 feet.

6/3/08

Glen Ave, Glen Rock NJ, just south of Maple Avenue. Looks like an undeveloped lot between two houses, a stone's throw from a NJ Transit line. Can anyone identify the school just north of there, is it Glen Rock High School?

6/2/08

Barclay Ct, Somerset NJ, just outside the Quail Brook Golf Course. Wonder if anyone lost a ball there....
