The Detroit graticule is at latitude 42, longitude -83. It includes about 90% of Detroit, all of Detroit's western suburbs (Southfield, Livonia, Canton), most of Oakland County (Royal Oak, Troy, Pontiac, Sterling Heights), and all of Ann Arbor. It also encompasses about half of Windsor, Ontario and half of Flint, Michigan.
The Detroit graticule does not include northern Flint (43, -83), some of Detroit's eastern suburbs such as Mt. Clemens, or eastern parts of Windsor (42, -82). However, depending on the density of XKCDers and the location of the hot spot, individuals from these areas may want to consider the Detroit graticule instead.

This location is not only on land, but appears to be very reachable.
It is also on private property, which we got kicked off of, by several irate locals. They also attempted to take down our license plates. However, there was Nintendo 64 to be had around the corner. (We were also late.)
