The rectangles are evenly spaced in Lat/Lon space but not in pixel
space.  If I know the Lat/Lon coordinates of the click, I know which
rectangle in the grid contains it without assistance from the server.

I do agree 70,000 rectangles is completely absurd.  Could use
approximately 265 horizontal lines by approximately 265 vertical lines
instead.  The actual numbers will depend on screen dimensions.
