Today's Location: [Frederick, MD]

The Frederick, Maryland graticule is at latitude 39, longitude -77. It contains Frederick, Hagerstown, Chambersburg, and Gettysburg with two interstate highways and many major roadways and with a mountain range cutting approximately down the middle of the graticule. It also contains many of the northern suburbs of Washington, DC along the I-270 corridor. It is one of the few graticules to span 4 US states. It contains portions of Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania.
