The Lincoln, Nebraska graticule is located near latitude 40, longitude -96. It is primarily land, and includes most of the Lincoln metropolitan area, as well as Beatrice, Crete, Syracuse, and Waverly. It also includes a large amount of rural farmland.

Notable Dates

Spike, Brittany and Michelle earned the Graticule Unlocked Achievement

by being the first to reach any hashpoint in the (40, -96) graticule, here, on 2008-05-22.

2008-05-22: First visit to target coordinates by Spike and crew.
2008-05-24: 40.126648°, -96.547534° A forested area east of Wymore. As the coordinates were so far south of Lincoln, the team embarking from Lincoln successfully reached the West Omaha coordinates instead, a field in the middle of nowhere.

2008-05-31: 40.037487°, -96.281267° A field northeast of Summerfield, KS, close to the southern Nebraska border. Again the coordinates are very far south of Lincoln, so the West Omaha coordinates seem like a more viable option.

2016-06-28: Globalhash at 40.340668°, -96.411929° - A farm field about an hour south of Lincoln, just off of US 136.

2021-04-24 : Josh (40.8223286°, -96.7982002°) at noon

(Also place any dates with significant visits here)

Local Geohashers

Spike actually goes to school in Iowa, but will go when he's back, whenever that is.
Ellusia will try her best to be at locations without trespassing on farmland.
Aedryan just created a facebook group for geohashing in this area.
