Ivy Town's location.

Seeing Mal left Ivy shortly after 21:05 and arrived in Happy Harbor at 22:23, Ivy's an hour away at a normal cruising speed for a motorcycle. At that, we could calculate the maximum distance and by approximation, the states Ivy Town can be in.

In the comics, Ivy has been placed at the mouth of the Housatonic and south of the Finger Lakes. Roughly, and arbitrarily, speaking, that's Milford, CT and Ithaca, NY. As for Happy Harbor, the map in 103 shows it's in the center of the state. Sadly, there's not enough detail to see if it's east or west of the Narragansett Bay, but as there're bridges, it won't matter much.

With Mapquest, Narrangasett, RI to Ithaca has a driving time of over six hours - close to seven in fact. Narrangasett to Milford is close to three hours. Roughly the same figures for Newport, RI west of the bay.

So, taking into account a one hour driving time at, say, 65 mph (the max speed in New England), where is Ivy Town on Earth-16?

sidenotes first: love when the wiki timestamp gives 16 hours ago, feels so appropriate,

It's physics still really, velocity.

65 mph=29.0576 m/s (SI units)

only takes me about 7 minutes to get off a pretty big campus science buildings usually fairly close to roads, hour 11 3600+600+60=4260s

Also a bit of geography which is not by best though I'll convert to distances and give it a shot. v=d/t, d=123785.376m, 123.78 km, bout 77 miles radius from happy habour. at max. that's not considerring traffic etc which would decrease it. I really have no clue on american locations however. Until Young Justice i was under the impression that new york was an island to the south of the mainland (pretty much tasmania) out sea a bit.
