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.
- 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.
- Monday, June 16, 2008
- Northbound Garden State Parkway past exit 116, off the shoulder after the Holmdel Rd. overpass. LangleyLGLF was there and received the Speed Racer Achievement.
- 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).
Daily Locations
A farmewr's field, just off I-80 West past exit 12. Not close enough for a Speed Racer Geohash.
Upper New York Bay again, a little further north this time. Or visit Swinesburg in the Allentown graticule.
West Windsor Community Park, near N Mill Rd. in Princeton Junction. Not far from the Princeton campus; if you've never been, it's a nice place to visit. Maybe you'll see someone throw a desk out a window.
Undeveloped land near Cassville, way the heck away from the nearest road. Close to Six Flags Great Adventure. I know where I would go, if I was free on Saturday!
A house on Oakley Avenue, Summit.
Upper New York Bay, Between Fort Wadsworth on Staten Island, and Fort Hamilton on Long Island. (Yes, Brooklyn is part of Long Island, you got a problem with that? :-)
Third house from the end, Alpen Lane, in either Pleasant Plains or Leisure Village, in Ocean County.
On a farm along Bear Tavern Road/trenton-Harbourton Road, near Bear Tavern. Also close to Washington Crossing State Park.
Public Road, between Columbus and Mansfield.
Wooded strip between Rt 130 and Hightstown.
Field off Jacksonville Road, north of Mt. Holly. The Newburgh hashpoint is also in New Jersey today.
