I assume you have a high res version of the photo. Working in Photoshop, I would adjust levels to bring out the squares. Then use dodge and burn tools to further isolate them (you may have to paint in a couple). Then you can probably get a decent auto-trace. Of course, by then you could have traced it.

To trace it you could simply draw lines horizontally and vertically, in line with the squares, then convert them to live paint to fill in the intersecting squares.
