Newark, New Jersey

The Newark graticule is at 40 N, -74 W. This may be the most populous graticule in the United States, with a population in the neighborhood of 7 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.

Thanks to Meteorswarm, we have a Facebook group for the "North Jersey" graticule. Meet-ups can be coordinated here or there.

(3/11) In the valley along Berkshire Valley Rd., to the east of the road. Close to Picatinny Arsenal, and just a bit east from yesterday's location. There is a sizable river parallel to the road: best approach from the road is to start south of the bridge near Taylor Road. Luckily, the geohash is not up the 300-foot cliff; it seems to be 20 or 30 feet from where it gets really steep.

And of course [Wikipedia] to find out which township/borough/county a geohash is in :-)

Wanted: a good bike-map website. NJ Bike Map.com is okay but doesn't include a lot of local bike trails.
