About Our Graticule

The Newark graticule is at 40 N, -74 W. This may be the most populous graticule in the United States, with a population 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.

Today's location: [Newark, NJ]

Thanks to Meteorswarm for setting up a Facebook group for this graticule. Meet-ups can be coordinated there, although so far this wiki has been more active.

• Deer Creek Village, an appartment complex on Riverview Drive, off Whitehead Ave in South River, Middlesex County. Behind the first building on the left as you enter. Nice place to geohash (maybe), but you wouldn't want to live there.

  • Jevanyn and his family took a trip to Hightstown to look for buried treasure! Aaaarh!

• Friday, February 20, 2009

  • Jevanyn couldn't resist a geohash this close to home.

  • Someone's front yard in White House Station, New Jersey. Brandon dragged his father along despite the freezing rain for their first geohash.

• Saturday, February 14, 2009

  • Stopped in Earle on the way home from visiting Cape May. Side of Route 33 featured No Tresspassing signs and poison ivy. Took pictures and picked up trash. Uncovered triceratops abuse; called ASPCA. Pictures to come.

• Saturday, August 16, 2008
  • Field near Plainsboro. Zubenelgenubi followed the "visitors" signs on the Black Rock lot before veering down a semi-public-looking abandoned roadway until a security guard arrived. Does not qualify as a Police Geohash as this was just an amiable rent-a-cop. No proof. (start here)

• 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.

• Monday, June 16, 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)
