The Springfield, Massachusetts graticule is at latitude 42, longitude -72. This graticule includes the following cities: Agawam, MA; Ashfield, MA; Chicopee, MA; Keene, NH; Northampton, MA; Springfield, MA. It is one of 7 known graticules to span 4 US states.

Water isn't a huge obstacle in this graticule, but forests are. Many of the locations so far have been in the middle of nowhere, which makes getting to them quite difficult. A GPS could come in handy, but the locations are frequently in easy to reach locations.

Today's Location: [Springfield, MA]

Notable Dates

2008-05-24: Was our graticule's first recorded visit, also setting the record for most people at a visit, 3! 2008-06-03: Second visit, tying the record for most people, but this time with pictures (to be posted ASAP)
