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 7 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, we have a Facebook group for the "North Jersey" graticule. Meet-ups can be coordinated here or there.

Links

[peeron map]

[Small Hash Inquiry Tool]

[Bing Maps] with Bird's Eye view, better idea of scale and finding paths through complicated terrain.

[Zillow] real estate valuation site, to find out if it's private property / a rough neighborhood / both.

[NJ Transit] for public transportation geohashes

And of course [Wikipedia] to find out which township/borough/county a geohash is in :-)

Wanted: a good bike-map website. NJ Bike Map.com is okay but doesn't include a lot of local bike trails.
