Prairie and Kosciusko County
Prairie is associated with Kosciusko County in the Census boundary data. Start with the parcel’s tax bill to match the property to that jurisdiction, then confirm which government handles its land use.
Prairie by land and water
The Census records 0.52 square miles of water within Prairie, or 1.5% of its total area. It is 2.7 percentage points lower than the 4.1% recorded for Kosciusko County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
