The Newark graticule is at 40 N, -74 W. This may very well be the most populous graticule in the United States, easily 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.

Attempted geohashes

Main page: Meetup in 40 -74

• 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.
  • In the Atlantic City graticule, Jevanyn got within photo distance of a water geohash location (pictures to follow).

• 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, and now has the pictures to prove it.

• Monday, June 16, 2008
  • Northbound Garden State Parkway past exit 116, off the shoulder after the Holmdel Rd. overpass. LangleyLGLF claims to have gotten the Speed Racer Achievement, but has not yet provided proof. (start here)

• Friday, June 13, 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)

• Thursday, June 12, 2008
  • US 206, Hillsborough. Jevanyn has claimed a Cubicle Geohash honorable mention, but has not yet provided proof. (start here).

• Sunday, June 1, 2008
  • A backyard in Denville. trntr claims he was there, but has not yet provided proof. (start here).

The Allentown, PA geohash is on the New Jersey side today, at a farm off Route 94 near Vail.

• 8/10/08

Off Black River Road, near Pottersville. Looks like private property, part of a big estate maybe? Just a bit south of Hacklebarney State Park.
