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.

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.

Daily Locations

Daily Location: [Newark, New Jersey]

2009-04-24: In the trees within the loop of Harvard Circle, Montgomery Township near Blawenburg, Somerset County.

2009-04-25: On the south bank of the Raritan River in Sayreville, Middlesex County. It's right at the run-off canal near a power plant, so it's not only inaccessible (by land anyway), but probably horribly polluted.

2009-04-26: Close to the NJ Transit tracks west of White House Station.
